Sexual Revolution Cited as Cause of Priest Abuse - NYTimes.com
A five-year study commissioned by the nation’s Roman Catholic bishops to provide a definitive answer to what caused the church’s sexual abuse crisis has concluded that neither the all-male celibate priesthood nor homosexuality were to blame....
Instead, the report says, the abuse occurred because priests who were poorly prepared and monitored, and were under stress, landed amid the social and sexual turmoil of the 1960s and ’70s....
And also...
Many more boys than girls were victimized, the report says, not because the perpetrators were gay, but simply because the priests had more access to boys than to girls, in parishes, schools and extracurricular activities.
...they were a very horny bunch and when they were around, nobody was safe.
Meanwhile I am out of bread this morning and I'm blaming that on the '70s for that, too. '70s, when will you ever end?
