Studies, PA grand jury report affirm abuse victims overwhelmingly post-pubescent males
By Rev. Dr. Jules Gomes, B.A., B.D., M.Th., Ph.D.
Growing up in Mumbai, I had the joy of living within walking distance of the Catholic seminary of St. Pius X. The seminary was an oasis of tranquillity amidst the city's cacophony. I remember with gratitude the welcome, hospitality and nurture I received from the faculty and seminarians.
Candidates aspiring to join the seminary were invariably asked one definitive question: "Do you like girls?" Young men aspiring to be celibate priests found the question a tad embarrassing in what was then socially conservative India.
Occasionally, a red-blooded male teeming with testosterone would reply "No! I don't like girls." He was promptly cast out into outer darkness. He would later realize that the archdiocese of Bombay expected you to like girls because if you liked boys you'd be more often in the shower rooms than in the classrooms of a seminary filled exclusively with boys and men.
Unlike the archdiocese of Bombay, the majority of dioceses in the U.S. adopted the reverse policy. If a young man displayed an inclination towards members of the same sex, the Lavender Mafia welcomed him into the gay club. Much of the horrendous sexual abuse in last week's Pennsylvania grand jury report is part of a pattern of homosexual predation in the U.S. Catholic Church beginning in seminaries and culminating in the College of Cardinals.
The grand jury's opening statement would be grandly Dickensian if it were not so gravely tragic: "There have been other reports about child sex abuse within the Catholic Church. But never on this scale. For many of us, those earlier stories happened someplace else, someplace away. Now we know the truth: it happened everywhere."
At least 300 predator priests are named in the report, committing horrific sexual abuse over seven decades. The number of victims is estimated at 1,000, at least, but it may actually run into thousands. The harrowing 887-page document is the result of a two-year grand jury investigation into "widespread sexual abuse of children within six dioceses of the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania."
'''The guilty priests weren't pedophiles, as the media and the Church's hierarchy are disingenuously suggesting or mindlessly parroting. The delinquent clergy were homosexual predators preying on adolescent or young adult males."
