1985 Ratzinger letter resisted defrocking abusive priests

again, i ask:  does the eastern church, which doesn't force celibacy, have the same widespread problem?

Too hard to tell......they may just be better at hiding it......

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

it is no secret that the percentage of homosexuals in the western rite is much much higher than the general population

Did you hear that at the coffee social after Church, Sunday?

jmfcst simply refuses to acknowledge the very real possibility the eastern churches have the same pervasive problem as the Catholics do, but since the Catholics are grabbing headlines worldwide, the eastern churches are happy to hide under the radar with their transgressions.

Can I prove it?  Nope.  Can jmfacist prove I'm wrong?  Nope.

Dibble Wins. Those are the rules of the interwebs.

If I were making advanced claims, then yes, it is my responsibility to provide some evidence.  But when a person has FOR DAYS been willfully discussing a topic, I expect that person to a least have the curiosity to read up on the matter he is discussing, especially when he is repeatedly questioning the elementary remarks of others.  If Dibble used 1/10 of the time he spends posting and use it to go and learn something, he wouldn't be such a hemorrhoid.

I reiterate, I did. But you'll probably never know that because you're ignoring me.

He's peeking dibble, guaranteed.
