No. No.NO.

Once and for all, there is no correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia. None. The problem isn’t the gay priests.

That’s a matter of definition, and of statistics. All the priests are men. To whatever extent they’re molesting boys, it’s homosexual, and when the victims are girls, it’s heterosexual. That’s what the words mean.

So now we come to the statistics. What fraction of the whole population of priests in those dioceses are homosexual? What fraction of the victims are boys? The numbers have to be run before anything accurate can be said. I don’t think we have the numbers, to know whether in this setting, it’s correlated or not.
