LifeSiteNews.com is reporting that, "A leading authority on the clerical sex abuse crisis has criticized those who conclude that new data has ruled out homosexuality as a significant cause in the scandal - even though the vast majority of priest abuse was perpetrated against adolescent males.
Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a top psychiatrist and expert in handling sexually abusive priests, says criminologists 'crossed a line' by pronouncing on the psychological causes behind the data released May 18.
'Analysis of the research demonstrates clearly that the major cause of the crisis was the homosexual abuse of males,' said Fitzgibbons in an interview with the Catholic News Agency.

The new study, conducted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and commissioned by the U.S. Bishops, shows that nearly 80 percent of victims were post-pubescent and adolescent males. However, the study concludes that available data 'do not support the hypothesis that priests with a homosexual identity ... are significantly more likely to sexually abuse.'
The report marks the third such effort by U.S. Bishops to address the causes and manifestations of the clerical sex abuse scandal since it first erupted publicly in 2002.
The data also shows that less than 5 percent of abuse involved prepubescent children, contravening rumor that the scandal largely manifested as acts of pedophilia. But homosexuality, according to Fitzgibbons, was clearly the primary sexual aberration driving the bulk of abuse.
'One can conclude that these priests have strong same-sex attraction,' said Fitzgibbons. 'When an adult is involved with homosexual behavior with an adolescent male, he clearly has a major problem in the area of homosexuality.'
The psychologist said that, while the college has done good work collecting data, criminologists 'lack the professional expertise to comment on causes of sexual abuse.'
'If the (U.S. bishops) conference wanted an analysis of the causes of complex sexual behavior with adolescents, don’t turn to criminologists,' said Fitzgibbons. 'They are not trained to understand those causes - that training is given to mental health professionals.'" (Article here).
It didn't take long for a homosexual propaganda blog called "MassResistance Watch" to jump on the faulty conclusions of criminologists who lack the expertise to comment upon the root causes of complex sexual behavior. In a post authored by a troubled soul who refers to himself as "Boston Bud," we read, "Researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, who spent five years conducting the most expensive and extensive study of sexual abuse in the Catholic church to date, concluded that homosexual priests were no more likely to abuse than heterosexual priests...If you recall Santorum and the anti-gay loonies were blaming gay priests for all the molestation." See here.
Who better to write about "loonies" than an individual referring to himself as "Boston Bud" who believes that homosexuality is somehow healthy. Dutch psychologist Gerard J.M. van den Aardweg, Ph.D., a specialist on homosexuality says that the claim that homosexuality is normal is one of those statements that are "so foolish that only intellectuals could believe them." It is like saying that anorexia nervosa is healthy. See here. Dr. Aardweg notes that, "The term neurotic describes such relationships well. It suggests the ego-centeredness of the relationship; the attention-seeking instead of loving...Neurotic, in short, suggests all kinds of dramas and childish conflicts as well as the basic disinterestedness in the partner, notwithstanding the shallow pretensions of 'love.' Nowhere is there more self-deception in the homosexual than in his representation of himself as a lover. One partner is important to the other only insofar as he satisfies that other's needs. Real, unselfish love for a desired partner would, in fact, end up destroying homosexual 'love'!" (Dr. Gerard J.M. van den Aardweg, The Battle for Normality, Ignatius Press, 1997, pp. 62-63).
No, most of the abuse within the Church was committed by sick men suffering from the psychopathology of homosexuality. Crippled in personality, these homosexual men acted out sexually against adolescent males. There is no way around this. Nor should this really come as a surprise. The Father of so-called "Gay Rights," Harry Hay, was a pervert who was fully supportive of NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a group which advocates for the legalization of sex between men and boys. See here. Talk about "loonies."
Sex between men and boys has long been a part of homosexual culture and history as documented by openly homosexual history professor William Armstrong Percy III in his book entitled "Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece." See here. Of course, propagandists for the Homosexual Hate Movement - like "Boston Bud" - will never admit to this.
But the facts of history tell the real story.
Facts mean nothing to fanatics like "Bud." He is also trying to draw a comparison between Mass Resistance and the silly fringe group which is proclaiming the end of the world today at 6PM.
ReplyDelete"Bud" is evry bit as fringe as those loonies.
Mass Resistance Watch is just another hateful Christianophobic blog authored by an anti-Catholic bigot. Your post highlights the dishonesty of the blog. The author isn't interested in truth and will write anything to further his cause - that of promoting the sodomite agenda.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he is supportive of NAMBLA? Or Harry Hay?
If the report's glossary is any indication of the quality of the report, then we should take much of it like a pinch of salt:
ReplyDelete''Vatican II or Second Vatican Council
An ecumenical (worldwide) council of Catholic bishops
convened by Pope John XXIII and continued after his
death by Pope Paul VI. The council met in four sessions
from 1963 to 1965 and made major changes in church
teaching and practice, the most visible being authorization
that Mass be celebrated in vernacular language.''
As one commenter said on another site, only a Phd could reach the conclusions of this report.
I read a few of the posts at mass resistance watch and they are nothing more than mindless drivel written by a sodomite zealot. The blog is rather banal and offers nothing of value. This character has only cheapened himself.
ReplyDeleteHere's a gem from Boston Dud: He refers to the doomsday cult as "a 'pro-family' organization like MassResistance."
ReplyDeleteNow Mass Resistance is some sort of doomsday cult? Homosexual activists like Boston Dud are embarassing themselves.
This week's edition of The Catholic Free Press (May 20th edition, p. 3), cites the faulty findings of this new study. This comes as no surprise as the newspaper has engaged in homosexual agitprop in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe Vatican issued in feb. 1961 a document with clear instructions barring homosexuals from
ReplyDeleteordination and religious vows named "“Careful Selection and Training of Candidates for the States of Perfection and Sacred Orders”.
The key paragraph regarding homosexuals and the priesthood is on page 471. It occurs under Section D of the Instruction: “The Required
Chastity”. Here we read:
“Advancement to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or
pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers”.
Why was this document disregarded, ignored or even willfully dismissed remains a mystery. The "new pentecost" of the council VATII probably was already at work.
Anyways the RC Chuch had in her hands the means to avoid that horrid scandal of which the consequences cannot yet be assessed with accuracy, but she chose not to use them.
Sad, very sad.
