The preferred nomenclature

[essentialsaltes]

What the fuck are you talking about? The pedophilia in the Catholic Church is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, pedophilia is not the preferred nomenclature. Ephebophilia, please.

Also, I am intrigued by the curious use of the word 'only' in the sentence "The statement ... defended [the Church's] record by claiming that "available research" showed that only 1.5%-5% of Catholic clergy were involved in child sex abuse." I guess even at the worst, a 95% is still an A, right?

They just HAD to find a way to blame it on "the gays," didn't they? Also, you're the only real pedophiles are grown men who molest little girls? What the hell?

It's the Holy Roman Catholic Church. This is exactly the kind of response I expect from them.

5%? That's 1 in 20....hmmm, has someone made a game about this?

How many altar boys can you butt fuck before you're relocated to another (uglier, older, estrogen-filled) parish?

Maybe they can trade their Catholic fags and feminists for Anglican homophobes and misogynists. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/20/roman-catholic-church-receives-anglicans)

I would think even the low end (1.5%) would be higher than the incidence of pedophilia in the average population. Yes? No?
