Wow, talk about religious double-speak. The Catholic League does George Orwell proud:

From the "South Park" commentary:

quote:
The promo is dishonest. The scandal in the Church is not about priests having sex with prepubescent boys. It is about priests having sex with postpubescent young men. The former is called pedophilia and the latter is called homosexuality. So if Stone and Parker really had guts, they would do a show on gay priests. But, of course, like so many other intellectually dishonest elites in our society, they will go to any length to protect homosexuals."


So young boys are now prepubescent young men. How convenient.

deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions." - Niccolo Machiavelli

This of course not only ignores the facts (that minors of both genders have claimed to be abused by priests), but also completly misses the point. Few of the intellectually dishonest elites in our society, would consider consesual sex between adult men and catholic priests to be inherently wrong. Rape is considered wrong by most of them. Raping minors is considered wrong by most people. The whole same-sex issue that came into it in a few cases made it only worse for some people.

I find it disgusting how the church tries to make it look like they are the victims and instead of taking responsibility for what happened attempt to use those incidents to further their own ideological campaigns.
