   You would find a larger concentration of pedophiles   
   in the Catholic Church of past years than you would find in most any   
   gay bar or bath in the world, much less in any   
   gay human rights organizations.   
      
   That does not stop Catholic propagandists from trying   
   to turn it around, as an excuse to advance their hate-agenda,   
   to smear a vulnerable minority, must like racist whites in   
   the South used to act like every black man was a   
   potential rapist, like the Nazis party cast the   
   supposedly-evil  "Eternal Jew" as a rapist.   Where hate is strongest,   
   it almost always will aquire a sexual dimension.  All the easier   
   when it is a minority defined by sexuality.   
      
   There is probably a reason for that.  For people whose   
   twisted ideology is so sex-phobic, much less homophobic,   
   that they imagine lifetime virginity to be a prequisite for   
   attaining a higher spiritual plane, the level of unrealistic   
   repression is probably a cancer that erodes moral senses,   
   in individuals who have an unearned sense of guilt over   
   the most everyday impulses.   
      
   They can posture all they want over sex being a   
   "Gift from God".  If it is such a wonderful gift, they why   
   are they so ungrateful about partaking in it?   Why then   
   is it not good enough for priests?   Why do they have to   
   maintain the biologically-impossible fantasy that the mother   
   of God's son was a virgin?   
      
   Because sex- even in the context of marriage- would   
   have made her less "pure", in their eyes, so they must   
   spin a fantasy "miracle".    This is part of the schizophrenic   
   mindset of the Catholic Church down thru history-   
   mouth one thing, mean another.   As it weaves deeper   
   and deeper, it must take its toll.   
      
   The social conservative hypocrites never seem to worry   
   about the human race "dying out in a single generation"   
   because every young boy decided to become a celibate   
   priest, or every young woman decided to join a Catholic   
   order of lifetime virgins who were "married" to God.   
      
   People in that category have a genuine choice, yet   
   no one in the media or political establishment   
   dares to criticize it.   
      
   But let's face it, this debate has nothing to do with   
   reason, and everything to do with hate that flows   
   as naturally in the human species as venom flows   
   in a snake.   As mechanical and unthinking as a dog   
   barking at a squirrel, and about as much meaning   
   their dogmatic proclamations, no matter how dressed   
   up in pretentious Latin phrasing.   
      
   The Catholic church as a long history of this kind   
   of venom, previously aimed at Jews as casually as   
   they continue to aim it at homosexuals.   
      
   Doesn't stop a fawning media from running after the   
   publicity-hound Pope, blowing kissing and strewing   
   flowers all the way.   
      
   That is why history has a few moment like the French Revolution,   
   where for once, the Catholic Church was on the receiving   
   end, instead of being cozy with corrupt power, and dishing it out.
