You are so blinded by your hatred of the Catholic Church that you fail to recognize a very small percentage of priests are homosexuals preying on teenaged boys, or that their rates of pedophilia are far lower than those of the general population. That's not being "callous" or "disingenous," or a defense of the bad behavior of a small percentage of priests. Perhaps if the Pope ordained these men you would quit banging the only drum you have and seek justice for their victims as well: <http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/news/ci_16522652> Talk about protecting child predators! > Geez. > > The Church is trying to make amends.
