Catholic school vice principal dismissed for being in gay "marriage"

[Big Money]

Is there any authoritative source whose opinion you'd take under consideration? This is a serious question, I'm not being snarky.

"Another problem related to terminology arises because sexual abuse of male children by adult men[SUP]2[/SUP] is often referred to as "homosexual molestation." The adjective "homosexual" (or "heterosexual" when a man abuses a female child) refers to the victim's gender in relation to that of the perpetrator. Unfortunately, people sometimes mistakenly interpret it as referring to the perpetrator's sexual orientation.

As an expert panel of researchers convened by the National Academy of Sciences noted in a 1993 report: "The distinction between homosexual and heterosexual child molesters relies on the premise that male molesters of male victims are homosexual in orientation. Most molesters of boys do not report sexual interest in adult men, however" (National Research Council, 1993, p. 143, citation omitted).

To avoid this confusion, it is preferable to refer to men's sexual abuse of boys with the more accurate label of male-male molestation. Similarly, it is preferable to refer to men's abuse of girls as male-female molestation. These labels are more accurate because they describe the sex of the individuals involved but don't implicitly convey unwarranted assumptions about the perpetrator's sexual orientation."

"Male-male" sounds so much more gay-friendly, doesn't it?

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_sex_abuse_cases
"Around 81% of these victims were male."

What percentage of their assailants were male?

As the expert stated, it sounds more accurate. Molestation never sounds friendly to me.

Molestation never sounds friendly to me.

And it's all about your comfort level with terminology, isn't it?

You are blurring lines. Are being a pedophile and a homosexual mutually exclusive?

If so why?

Because a person can be a pedophile who preys on members of the opposite sex only. Jimmy Savile, for example, although there is a claim he molested one boy in all his years of victimizing.

Can a person be a pedophile who preys on members of the same sex only?

Only if you leave off the word it qualifies, "molestation."

What percentage of their assailants were male?

From the same wiki article I quoted before.
"The 2004 John Jay Report was based on a study of 10,667 allegations against 4,392 priests accused of engaging in sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002."

Obviously.

YOu were the one who brought up comfort level. I prefer to stick with accurate assessments.

Allegations?

LOL...

"Friendly" is what you prefer, isn't it?

Do they get tax exemptions?

Possibly from property taxes, I don't know for sure.

If they get tax exemptions, they are tax-payer subsidized, aren't they?

You asked what percentage of their assailants were male. I pointed out that, per the link, the survey was concerning catholic priests. Since that is what we were discussing, I thought it covered it quite nicely.

 

[Big Money]

Obviously.

And that person would be committing a homosexual act by molesting a same-sex child, wouldn't they?

In the context of this discussion, I don't consider "friendly" to be accurate at all.

Allegations = percentage of assailants?

You don't consider "homosexual" to be "accurate at all" in the context of this discussion, either, do you?

No, I did not say "allegations = percentage of assailants". But you asked what percentage of the 81% were molested by males. Since the study concerned only catholic priests, I thought it was self-explanatory.
