Guest Post: Call the Crisis What It Is: Pederasty!

Editor's comment: As the Rome meeting on the sex abuse crisis begins tomorrow, it's important to emphasize that the bishops must properly address the foundational root of the problem. They plan to focus solely on the abuse of minors. Why? Because ignoring the abuse of non-minors sweeps the homosexual nature of the problem under the rug. The language emphasized throughout the abuse crisis has been "pedophilia" when, in fact, most of the abuse involved older adolescents and legal adult seminarians. Catholics will know the meeting is a smokescreen if this continues, that the hierarchy are spinning a tale "told by an idiot full of sound and fury and signifying nothing." What a tragedy for the Church, especially the Church in the United States. No honesty, no transparency, no solution.

"Demons in Roman Collars": Part III of Randy Engel's Series on Fr. Anthony Cipolla

Protect the children, Holy Father.

Randy Engel wrote this series in an attempt to gain justice for the Thompson family whose sons were both abused by pederast Fr. Anthony Cipolla. In her research, Randy also gives an extensive report on the pederast problem in the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh whose bishops covered up for the abusers for decades including Cardinal Donald Wuerl currently the head of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.! 

I urge you to read the entire series, but Part III can stand on its own and actually provides somewhat of an overview of the magnitude of the problem. I quote the end of the article (after the break) which identifies the problem -- It's homosexuality in the priesthood!
