'Homosexuality and the Church Crisis'
Abstract: Due to clergy sex abuse scandals centered primarily in the Northern hemisphere, the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church has been subjected to an opportunistic siege by prominent individuals and organizations who see the chance to advance their goals, including the ordination of women and the suspension of the requirement for priestly celibacy.
There is also a strongly defensive element to this strategy. Opponents of the Church know that there is a well-documented and strong correlation between male homosexuality and child sexual abuse, but claim that there is no evidence supporting this connection.
And, of course, those who are currently attacking the Church hope that they can undermine its moral authority to preach on the sinfulness of homosexual behavior and weaken its opposition to ersatz homosexual "marriage."
This paper demonstrates that there is indeed a very strong link between male homosexuality and child sexual abuse. It …More

BK,
Now, the entire handling of homosexuality has been a failure.

However, who is able to say with certainty that The average sodomite, often a decent man trying to live right? It would seem that the “average sodomite” today is a self-absorbed hedonist with an ambitions agenda of making homosexuality a norm, an alternative lifestyle, part of the great continuum of sexuality, with the same rights and privileges as non-disordered relationships. Add to this the pedophile connection and we have a recipe for absurdity which is exactly the state of affairs within the United States today with business falling over themselves to be perceived as “gay friendly.” More realistically, these businesses should be called "gay terrified."
The 2% tail sure wags a lot of dogs including many cowardly clerics within various denominations including those within the Catholic Church.
The average sodomite (often a decent man trying to live right the evidence would suggest otherwise) must be told of the sinfulness of his relationships and urged to repentance. In this, I wholeheartedly agree.
Yet, how often is he told to repent by Church clerics? How often is he provided a means of support in the form of groups like Courage? The answer is almost never. Instead, when the subject of homosexuality is addressed (if at all), most often the discussion becomes a lecture to straights on how they must be more accepting, the dignity of the person, we are all God's children blah blah blah. These things are, of course, true but they do nothing to help the individual enslaved with Same Sex Disorder.
