He admits that this is something that is pervasive and has been for many decades....
"describes seminaries that became filled during that period with “homosexual cliques.”
but gives the reason as "the secularization of the West..(and) the 1960s sexual revolution".....
Damn....I was a hippie having fun and now it is my fault that Priests are abusing children!
"RCC developed a culture of secrecy using clandestine organizational management models and institutional laws prescribed in 1568, 1622, 1741, 1866, 1922, and 1962 which aimed to manage cCSA. The current study traces reported cCSA as far back as the first century and critically examines the organizational laws, and institutional policies developed by RCC to address clerical sexual misconduct up to the end of the 19th century."
Yet it's all because of Birth Control Pills now?
Someone needs to educate the Church on the roaring 20's, the gay 90's and many other libertine periods in our history. Heck, he needs to be told about Jefferson, Hamilton and Franklin!
Looking around I see this talking point has been picked up by the Church as a echo chamber thing....even though it has little truth to it.
The catholic church needs to seriously get some PR firms to give them a hand. I'm not a catholic, but if I were running the show that would be seriously the first thing I'd do.
Learn some BS talking points, don't deviate from the script, memorize it and stick to it.

Seems they've done a good job of that. How many predator priests are in prison where they belong?

So that study is over at least 1800 years! It would be safe to say from Day One until today and as far into the future as it is allowed to go. And, given current governance, it will continue virtually forever.
As you well know, the customer is always right and people vote with their feet. As long as 1.2 billion people belong they will be Golden no matter what they do.
its my belief that the priest suffer from an "obsession" just as i used to suffer from the obsession the use drugs...
i believe the sex offending priests try to do "gods work" as a way to redeem themselves because of the guilt from their obsession...
the catholic church needs to allow married couples to be priests plain and simple...i was raised a catholic and believe it or not i was grateful in my early recovery for merely being a drug addict and NOT a child molester addict...
not condoning behavior simply putting it in human terms

They dont need it! In my area, most of the larger parishes that have schools are doing very well, some even have waiting lists for enrollment!
This tells me ALOT of parents are totally fine with sending their kids to a catholic school.
