And Another Thing About Insure.com’s Robert Bland: He Pushes the “Gays Are Pedophiles” Lie, Too
Hat tip to Stefano A, who left this illuminating link in a comment at Box Turtle Bulletin:
Reason.com Reader Mail, December 23, 2002 Tim Cavanaugh’s E Pluribus Umbrage (Dec. 2002) makes a gross error in characterization by stating that the Catholic Church is “unable to take a strong stand against raping children.” The pope has consistently called sexual abuse of minors an “abomination” and has only recently obtained the public support of American bishops to rid the church of homosexuals and pedophiles. I believe that Mr. Cavanaugh has made the popular media mistake of confusing official Church policy and teachings, which source solely from the pope, with the actions of certain renegade U.S. bishops.
In direct violation of Vatican policy, many U.S. bishops and religious orders have allowed seminaries to admit homosexuals and pedophiles over the past 40 years. In certain seminaries, professors openly dissent from Catholic teaching on homosexuality, and homosexual behavior has been protected while orthodox, morally-straight seminarians have been persecuted or forced out altogether.
Not surprisingly then, 90 to 98% of the publicized cases of priestly pedophilia committed by U.S. Catholic priests involve boys (whether prepubescent or postpubescent). Not all “gays” are pedophiles, but pedophilia - called “intergenerational love” by homosexuals - is part and parcel of the homosexual subculture, whose publications commonly carry themes of adult-child sex.
Apparently the U.S. bishops have now finally begun to take a strong stand against “sexual abuse of minors” and have begun to purge the Church of homosexual priests. While the Catholic Church very publicly and painfully begins to purge its ranks of sodomites and child abusers, one can only hope that other large organizations will follow suit.
There’s much work to be done. Here in Illinois, for example, the State Child Sex Abuse Hotline received over 10,000 calls for help this year with not one call involving a Catholic priest. Sadly, most of the calls involved abuse by close family members.

Why, Mr. Bland, your ignorance and homophobia are in full bloom.
Told ya you’d been busted, Mr. Bland.
