I’m coming out as a “homosceptic”
– Mercator
Dictionaries need a new word to describe disagreement with some of the key precepts of the gay lobby. The Urban dictionary defines a “homosceptic” as “a member of society who does not hate homosexuals, but generally does not agree with the principle of homosexuality in moral and ethical terms”.

The Left’s Dirty Little Secret By Robin of Berkeley
The article exposed an unseemly aspect of the 60’s, one that isn’t touted in the flattering history books.  The dirty little secret was the widespread sexual abuse of children. They camouflage abuse with lofty concepts, such as “diversity ” and “social justice.” The left has morphed into many different life forms since its roots in Marx.

…the leftists have wormed their way into every aspect of society.
while kids can turn off the boob tube, there’s nothing that they or their parents can do when the public schools turn into instruments of corruption.  Exhibit A:  “sex education.” Those in charge of the sexualization of children are our postmodern Frankensteins;  they have engineered mad plans to steal the bodies and souls of our children.

They know where you work: ‘gay marriage’ supporters target employers, employees – BP News
Jennifer Roback Morse, president of the traditional marriage advocacy group The Ruth Institute, says the ramifications of tactics like HRC’s are enormous, with homosexual activists essentially saying they expect businesses to police the political beliefs and political activities of their employees and volunteers or face severe retribution. But “gay marriage” has been defeated in every state where it has appeared on the ballot. This would seem to indicate a serious disconnect between the actual power of homosexual groups and their perceived power in the business community.

Americans Believe There Are More Homosexuals in the U.S. Than There Are Catholics – Joe Carter
Let’s take a survey: Are Americans (a) really bad at estimating, (b) really gullible, (c) both really gullible and really bad at estimating? After seeing the results of this Gallup survey, I think the answer is obvious. Why do Americans think there are so many gays in the U.S.? Maybe they are basing their estimations on what they see on television.

BISHOPS’ JOHN JAY STUDY ON CLERGY ABUSE


Donohue responds to John Jay study
– Catholic League
Catholic League president Bill Donohue has prepared a 24-page response to the John Jay College for Criminal Justice Report on the “Causes and Context” of clergy abuse. While he praises the study on several counts, he faults the authors for not allowing their own data to drive their conclusion on the role that homosexuality played in the abuse crisis.

Causes? What causes? – Mercator
Some Catholics still believe that homosexuals should be welcomed to the priesthood. The editor of the magazine America, Jesuit Father James Martin, for example, argued this week that the Church needs more openly homosexual, albeit celibate, priests. One suspects that “Causes and Context” is subtly supporting the case for welcoming homosexuals into the priesthood. Of the three most popular explanations for the reeking stench of child abuse – bad bishops, bad celibacy, and bad gays, the report ticks “none of the above”. Can the bishops get a refund?

…airbrushing homosexuality from the crisis strikes a non-academic reader as counter-intuitive, not to say loopy.

Priest abuse study called ‘deeply flawed’
The report, which places blame not on church leaders but on the permissive culture of the 1960s and 1970s is “deeply flawed” says Walter Robinson, distinguished professor of journalism at Northeastern University, who led the Boston Globe Spotlight team that broke the clergy sex abuse story, netting the paper the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2003.

John Jay Study: A $2 Million Exercise in Political Correctness
by Louie Verrecchio
The research team, led by Karen Terry, Ph.D., gathered an impressive amount of information from which they drew a number of conclusions; the most unsettling of which is the claim that homosexuality is unrelated to the abuse (particularly of adolescent males, the primary victims in the crisis.)
