What is striking about the original article is that the abuse mentioned appears to be also ritualistic or even "traditional" in nature. In light of the quote below from your article, do you actually think the family percentage tops their 75% on the pedophilia (or homosexual issue?). I don't know. You may be right. Just attempting to establish genuine facts whatever they may be.

"Even though prominent psychiatrists and psychologists have been reminding us on television and in press interviews that there is no necessary link between homosexuality and pedophilia, the popular view to the contrary still holds sway in many parts of the church and in society at large. In such precincts the solution is easy: Get rid of gay priests and we'll finally be rid of this horrible problem of sexual abuse of children."
