in a hospital bed, I Thank God every day for saving me. I still go to therapy, whether it’s monthly, weekly, or at more stressful times 2 times per week. Now, I know what to look Forward to seeing in life…like the 6 grandkids I would’ve never met, loved & been loved by had I died that day. When I’m at my lowest this is what I concentrate on. If you’re a Veteran In Need KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE in this fight! We did NOT do it alone overseas & we do NOT need to get through this battle alone at home either.

Actual Quote From The Article: “Why does this matter to the Catholic League? For too long, the media and the chattering class have said that the Catholic Church clergy abuse scandal was due to “pedophile priests.” Wrong. The data clearly show that the vast majority of priestly victims were male (81 percent) and that 78 percent were postpubescent. Why is this important? Because it means the molesters were homosexuals. When males have sex with males who are postpubsecent, that’s called homosexuality, not pedophilia.” My Reply: Actually, THE PRIESTS WERE ADULTS & THEIR VICTIMS WERE CHILDREN, as in under 18 years old, THE PRIESTS RAPED THOSE BOYS…No Matter How You Want To Try & Twist The Facts! They were NEVER IN A CONSENSUAL Homosexual Relationship…post pubescent or not and for you to imply otherwise is to victimize them all over again! If those priests wanted to have sex with men they should’ve found WILLING ADULT MEN to have a homosexual relationship with. But that’s NOT what they did! They used not only their positions of power and authority in those kids lives, but the trust they had with them, too. Most people automatically trust their Clergymen, adults and children alike. Their priests most likely had their trust just because of the position they held as their Priest, and held it against them when they decided to RAPE THEM! I hope and pray 🙏 that TODAY’S Catholic Church would be as embarrassed, disgusted and ashamed by your statement as I was.
