Prosecution should go as high as possible in the Catholic church. I'm willing to accept the pope and his predecessors were unaware but still I'm sure this goes high.

Tomasi added that it would be "more correct" to refer to ephebophilia, a homosexual attraction to adolescent males, than paedophilia.

BBKing further added that Tomasi is talking out of his priestly backside - it's an abuse of power thing, and no priest is going to dare present it as that because the power is the whole point of the organised religion racket, even more so than the delectable youngsters on hand.

Paedophile priests? Is the Pope a Catholic?

Wiki seems to suggest his backside might be being used for something other than talking out of.

Of course, one way to get off a prison sentence would be so say you're too fat...

So the church is offended at the idea of straight priests abusing boys of whatever age so they label them all homosexual as that fits nicely into the homophobic belief the catholic church has. Either way they put it perverts got into the church abused people they were tasked with caring for and top figures in the catholic church have both known about it and in some cases helped cover it up. Arrests should be made and not just a few low level sacrificial lambs but some of those higher up who knew and at best did nothing and at worst covered it up.
