Yup... not to mention, a priest should be held to a higher & different standard. Big difference between someone who runs a non-profit agency, and a man who claims to serve God (and remain celibate).
Since a link wasn't offered, we have no details on the arrest, but I'm betting the man was charged with possession of child porn.
If so, there is also a big difference between looking at statutory rape and participating in it.
If they're both guilty of the same crime, then I say lock them up....and throw away the key...no matter who they are!
You need to clear that up for us. If they are both guilty of the same crime, why is the man being charged with child porn? Is he being charged with possession or creation of child porn? The crime committed by priests is child molestation, not child porn.

My comment about the "same crime deserving the same punishment" was referring to a priest being charged w/ child porn and this ACLU Pres being charged w/ child porn... I am not sure whether it was "possession" or "creation" of it, honestly.

But your original reference was to the child molestation by priests, which is what gizmo was referring to.

As I stated, there's a difference between viewing sex with minors and having sex with minors.
You both need to go back and read my OP. I never referenced any molestation by priests. I was stating that the ACLU Pres had child porn charges and said "if this were a priest"...meaning with the SAME charges of child porn ONLY...the media coverage would be different. That's all I said.

Yes, my apologies. I jumped to conclusions (which, considering the Church's problems, I hope you understand).
IMO,a pervert is a pervert is a child abuser is a child abuser. No if, ands or buts, or whys. The only thing they deserve is a quick trial and hard time locked up. Let the other prisoners dole out justice..Anyone who gets a jolt from child pornography is probably(IMO IMO NO arguement) just one step from visiting the local Kmart mens room to expose himself to little boys I know, I have seen this. Yes, hurry and get them off the street since they may wind up in the back row of your church ogling the little boys, because someone said he claimed he "backslid", and we should love him
No matter who engages in this kind of behavior they are the lowest kind of human being in my opinion. I do recall that there was a court ruling several years ago that said it was ok for someone to view material of children if they are digital creations, in other words they're not actual photos of real people but they're digital images that look real. I disagree with that ruling and I don't think we should cut them any slack. Websites or individuals that promote this type of thing are attempting to make a profit from deranged people who like to fantasize about hurting children. I think that investigations of the internet have become more effective and more and more of these people are getting caught.
