Not to say that I think that there aren't people out there who will support this sort of thing, I just don't think it's going to give much of a bump to sales at all.

Because, despite what anyone days, we as a species have decided children do not give real consent to sex acts- ever. I don't need a bible to know what is the ethical truth here. I wonder if he got raped if he would say it was his fault because he's a catholic priest and we all know....

There ARE 13 year old kids out there who want sex. That's where he stops being right.<br /><br />Just because there are some kids out there who <b>do</b> want to have sex, doesn't mean anyone, especially priests and other people who are in positions of power over them, should be having sex with them. That <b>is</b> an abuse of power, and it <b>is</b> rape. <br /><br />13 year olds (and kids both younger and older) can be explosive packages of hormones, and what they want isn't always the best thing for them. That's what being an adult is all about... Being able to make the choices that go against your hormones and your wants, and deciding to do what's best for everyone involved, including (and again, especially) those who you may be in a position of power over.<br /><br />Those children aren't consenting to abuse. They're interested in something that is physically natural to be interested in. The priests who took advantage of that interest abused them. The abusers made decisions, bad ones, and did so as adults, knowing that they were abusing those children. <br /><br />And above and beyond all that... Saying that one, or even some, children were interested in sex, doesn't make them implicit in the abuse. They are victims of abuse, and in some cases, the victims of serial rapists, who were moved from parish to parish by knowing superiors. Not for the sake of the children, but for the sake of the name of the church. Because clearly the good name of the church is more important than the children under your protection. Both the ones that have already been abused, and the ones in the new parish, the ones just waiting for someone that they and their families can trust... But trust to do what?
