It Was Homosexual Abuse
by Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine:
Leftists deny the mountain of demographic data that draws a strong link between homosexuality and abuse of minors in the Church.
The Catholic squad of the Sexual Left insists you agree that the priest sex abuse scandal has nothing to do with homosexuality. Nothing whatsoever. To say that the priest sex abuse scandal has anything to do with homosexuality is nothing short of “othering” and even homophobic violence.
They say this over against a mountain of demographic data reported by researchers connected to the John Jay College of Criminal Justice that draws a strong link between homosexuality and abuse of minors in the Church. But it’s not just the Catholic New Left denying this connection; even the report’s authors deny their own data.
All of this has come to the fore again with the election of Archbishop Timothy Broglio as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Four years ago, Archbishop Broglio said, in an email, there is “no question that the crisis of sexual abuse by priests in the USA is directly related to homosexuality.” He reiterated this a few weeks ago when questioned by a reporter: “I think it’s certainly an aspect of the sexual abuse crisis that can’t be denied. I think it would certainly be naive to suggest that there is no relationship between them.”
But Archbishop Broglio is merely working from the data provided by John Jay College. According to their report, 100 percent of the perpetrators were male, and 80 percent of the victims were also male.
Outrage from the Catholic New Left was immediate and vociferous.
