Horrific as the stories on the radio and the Commission Report are, they do not in any way alter my sense of pride in my nationality.After listening to harrowing stories on the radio over the past 2 days, I am not proud to be Irish...
How dare you assume to speak on my behalf.... We have a lot to answer for...
What went on in those institutions has nothing to do with homosexuality.Isn't there a curious irony in all of this, in that we have the Catholic Church on the one hand telling us that homosexuaility is unnatural and a "sin", and, on the other hand, the same Catholic Church is doing its level best to defend and protect the queer priests and brothers who sexually abused little boys.
No? I thought a sexual act between same-sex people was deemed homosexual - whether consenting or otherwise.What went on in those institutions has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Wha'? Of course it has! That's the most ridiculous thing I have read so far this week.

This thread is taking a turn in a direction that I think is not appropriate for a forum like AAM. So, this will be my last contribution to this thread.
There is absolutely no doubt that the priests and brothers who sexually abused boys were queers. It is simply not possible for a straight man to do something like that with another male.
Slash you state the blindingly obvious, for the benefit of complainer who must be clearly utterly insane if he believes his own theory.
That doesn't explain the sexual urge. If people didn't enjoy sex the world would not be populating at this incredible speed. The perpetrators here enjoyed the sexual act with those kids. Predatory homosexuals and, in some cases, paedophiles. I'm sure if they wanted to control (only), the cane, strap, hectoring browbeating and physical punishment would have sated their tendencies. Of course you had some of these as well but here we're talking about sexual behaviour.It was about power, and using sexual abuse as a form of control. It wasn't about sex.
They are indulging in homosexual behaviour. You get cases of beastiality, and yet those so inclined to this type of behaviour are not animals (in the true sense of the word). Likewise, people act the clown without being clowns!I completely agree with Complainer here.
What about male rape in prisons - does anyone seriously think these thugs are 'homosexuals'?
One poster, @Chocks away, with support from @legs-akimbo, is certainly working from that premise, but has chosen to use a term generally regarded as homophobic in place of either "gay" or "homosexual".... Are people seriously saying the boys were abused by male priests because the priests were gay?
I don't know where you live, but as he is head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, we will be outside his administrative bailiwick.... To think he will be the head of the Catholic church within these isles....he should be sacked!
