I'm too lazy to look it up in English, so do it yourselves.
It seems that the new pope or someone else got to the point that the only way to fight paedophilia among priest is fighting gay priest. It was decided so because 80% of victims of paedophilic priests were boys.
It is thought, though, that this high percentage of homosexual paedophilia among priests is caused by
a) easier access to boys (altar boys etc)
b) high percentage of gays among American catholic clergy (some estimate it on 60% - and claim it is because gay priests were less likely to leave their mission for marriage).
Another reason given for anti-gay action is that "a gay in seminarium is like a young heterosexual in female hostel" - but keeping people in one-sex enviroment ends up in homosexual behaviour even in people not inclined to it by nature!
Anyway: it is good that they are trying to do something about the problem. But their idea how to solve that is completely idiotic. I hope they will realise that.
I think that church should support gays for priests - after all, according to the doctrine, they should live in celibate anyway.
