LIBERALS IN NEWS MEDIA SAY THERE ARE NO GAY PREDATORS WHILE THEY CONDEMN GAY PREDATORS!

April 8, 2010

Huffinton Post mocks the Catholic League's Bill Donohue in their report on allegations by Donohue that many adult homosexuals prey on young men and that banning adult homosexuals from the priesthood reduces child abuse in America and that European churches should follow suit to what America has done.

Bill Donohue has been vigorously defending the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict XVI as the child sexual abuse scandal continues to reach into the highest levels of the Vatican. One of his main methods has been to describe the scandal not as a pedophilia crisis but as a homosexual crisis, suggesting that the true problem at the heart of the church is homosexuality and not the criminal sexual abuse of young children.

He elaborated further on this point on CNN yesterday, when he directly stated that "there's a connection between homosexuality and the sexual abuse of minors."

Let me give you a quick example. I'm Irish. Everybody who has half a brain knows that the Irish have a bigger problem with alcoholism than the Italians or the Chinese, for example. Does that mean because you're an Irishman, therefore, you are driven to become an alcoholic? Of course, not.

What it means, though, if your group is overrepresented in a particular problem area, you ought to explore it. Yes, there's a connection between Irish and alcoholism, and, yes, there's a connection between homosexuality and sexual abuse of minors.

Donohue provided some evidence for his theory, but was challenged about the context of his statistics during the program. He didn't cite any studies on alcoholism.

A day earlier the Huffington Post mocked Donohue's Condemnation of Gay Predators

Perhaps Donohue's most controversial claim is that this is not a pedophilia crisis but a homosexual crisis; since most victims of molestation were "post-pubescent"," that means the priests were not child molesters but some kind of gay predators. Donohue wrote in a full page ad in the New York Times:

The Times continues to editorialize about the "pedophilia crisis,: when all along it's been a homosexual crisis. Eighty percent of the victims of priestly sexual abuse are male and most of them are post-pubescent. While homosexuality does not cause predatory behavior, and most gay priests are not molesters, most of the molesters have been gay.
It's unclear where Donohue is getting his statistics, but this is sure to increase the belief among critics that the church is more interested in protecting its own interests and reputation than innocent children. In a heart-wrenching Times follow-up story, it was revealed that the deaf boys tried for decades to report the sexually abusive priest, but no one would listen.

You can watch Donohue explain his homosexual crisis theory in more detail on CNN.
