And in my experience there are far more of those incidents as opposed to ones with little boys.

BTW I'm sure their are heterosexual priests as well but either they are keeping it in their pants or are ninjas.

well, since you veer from pedo straight to homo, i thought i'd show you this, not that i think it will help you begin to see it is not a homosexual issue:

Sexual abuse by Catholic clergy became the subject of widespread publicly in 1984 with the celebrated case of Father Gilbert Gauthe in Lafayette, Louisiana. This led to numerous revelations of similar cases of abuse around the United States and in other countries as well. At the outset of the present era the crisis was erroneously referred to as a “pedophilia problem.” Experience has shown that only 20% of clergy perpetrators are true pedophiles while the majority are classified as ephebophiles since their victims are younger adolescents. The publicity generated from the abuse cases involving minor victims has also provoked revelations of widespread clergy sexual abuse of vulnerable adults, mostly women. In any event, the age and gender of the victim are irrelevant since the sexual encounter constitutes abusive behavior by a trusted clergyman perpetrated on one with less emotional strength and spiritual power than the priest and one who is in a vulnerable position from which he or she cannot mount an adequate defense.


so, what is ephebophilia?

Ephebophilia is the sexual preference of adults for mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19.[1][2] The term was originally used in the late 19th to mid 20th century, and has been more recently revisited by Ray Blanchard.[2] It is one of a number of sexual preferences across age groups subsumed under the neologism of "chronophilia". Ephebophilia strictly denotes the preference for mid-to-late adolescent sexual partners, not the mere presence of some level of sexual attraction. In sexual ethics, it may be defined as a sexual preference for girls generally 14–16 years old, and boys generally 14–19 years old.[3] Some authors define ephebophilia as a sexual preference of pubescent and adolescent boys.[4]

homosexuality mean preference for others of the same sex. it does not mean preference for others of the same sex who are below a certain age. these priests are drawn to those who have not yet reached maturity. they don't or can't have relationships with others of their age. a power trip problem an underlying issue perhaps? a man with this would be referred to immediately as humbert humbert.
at any rate, a priest doesn't commit these crimes due to homosexuality. those priests hang out in gay bars, another issue that has been brought up about priests being forced into a 'celibate' lifestyle. straight priests have relationships with women, some of them leaving the church because they have no wish to be alone. but these criminals-they are warped individuals.

your statement that they prey on youth due to homosexuality is false.
