[quote=Anonymous]In the case of McCarrick and some others, please don’t conflate homosexuality and pedophilia (sexual abuse of prepubescent children), and pedophilia with the sexual harassment of the seminarians.  The former has the affect of blinding people to pediphiles in other environments (eg schools, youth sports), and unfairly casting blame on the LGBTQ community.  The latter has the affect of ignoring a workplace issue that is not unlike what is experienced elsewhere (eg, corporate settings).  The fact that some (many?) cases within the Catholic Church involves homosexuals just shows that sexual harassment isn’t a problem limited to heterosexuals.

The history of covering wrong-doings in Catholic ministry (particularly the priestly ranks) and ignorantly moving offenders hoping the problems magically disappear is a major problem that is beginning to change.  If it wasn’t changing, we wouldn’t have these reports.

I hope the abuses stop, and victims find at least a modicum of peace.[/quote]
