Hillbuzz' take on the Catholic sex abuse scandals

On the double standard:

First of all, before we say anything negative about the Catholic Church, we would like to point out the simple fact the MSM does not, ever, report on the millions of young boys who are raped on a daily basis in the Middle East, in the name of Islam, by Muslims who consider sex with young boys to be their right. All of us here studied Islam in college, and no study of Islam is complete without a look at what Muslim men do to young boys. “Women are for children, boys are for pleasure” is a very common phrase in Islam. Harems of young boys have things done to them no priest has ever done, in any country. But, in terms of calling Islam out on its many sins, the MSM issues just the sound of crickets.

On the political third rail:

What many people don’t talk about whenever church sex scandals arise is a simple fact we see clearly: part of the reason there’s a problem with this in the Catholic Church is that for many years boys who were suspected of being gay were forced by their families into the priesthood. They were never allowed to be themselves, were shunted into seminaries, and years later they express their sexuality in destructive and criminal ways. That’s not an excuse, but an observation in terms of what’s happening with these men.
