Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't see how can anyone see a connection between the two
Some people equate pedophelia with homosexuality because some male pedophiles molest boys. Since they are the same gender, they assume that the perpetrators are gay, without realizing that pedophelia has a distinct pathology.
Maybe I'm dense, and obviously I have no idea regarding the sensitivity of the cases the article mentions, but I can't see how can anyone see a connection between the two, other than the fact that there's a religion that forbids both.
Nilly is not dense and this post proves it.

ICompletelyON: Fortunately zinc swabs did not kill my sense of smell. Unfortunately I know this because a nearby skunk got scared. Blech.

I guess they'd have to ignore the pedophiles molesting young girls for starters. But then, that doesn't seem to make the papers as much as boys getting molested, even though I understand it to be considerably more common.
I've got dyscalculia so math and I have a strained relationship...very sad. (And I was midway through college before I found out for real so I'm not sure what could've been done, but I'm sure it was not a loss to science.) Very surprised at the hot that was Dr. Green. I'd like to test his theories.(Actually, though, he'd talk to me for ten seconds before finding me completely dense, I think.)
This morning I saw the headline on a local paper to the effect that the Vatican is going to ban all gay priests. I thought they were just going to ban sexually active gay priests. (Which still sounds bad, but they ban sexually active heterosexual priests too.)

Also, banning "people who support so-called gay culture". You don't even have to be gay to qualify.

Oh, that sucks. Guess I can't be a priest then.
Although I suppose I'm also excluded by the "no atheists" clause....
They are really working on, what seems to me, a Don't Ask policy. Priests can be celibately gay but only if they're not all that gay. If "gay" is how they primarily identify themselves, they are becoming pretty unwelcome.
the church will not admit to a seminary nor ordain "those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture.' "
This directive is actually less restrictive than what was expected.
