Prominent Priest Defended Child Sex Abusers, Later Apologizes

 "People have this picture in their minds of a person planning to -- a psychopath. But that's not the case. Suppose you have a man having a nervous breakdown, and a youngster comes after him. A lot of the cases, the youngster -- 14, 16, 18 -- is the seducer."  DARVO at it's finest.  I don't even know what to say to this.   Yes, the child is trying to seduce the man.  Stop defending this.  The day after posting this stupidity, somebody realized it and pulled it down.  Now the priest is saying he misspoke.  "My mind and my way of expressing myself are not as clear as they used to be."  There is still no excuse for this from the Catholic Church.

That's ridiculous. Pedophiles will always come up with an excuse for their vile behaviour.

Right. Because 14-year-olds are totally going out and seducing old men.

Yup. That's totally what's happening.

To me this sounds like a *say what you mean, people are pissed, backpeddle* type situation.

Not that there aren't a couple of fucked-up teens and preteens out there, but if these account for any nonnegligible fraction of paedophilia cases, I'll eat a broom.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

"My mind and my way of expressing myself are not as clear as they used to be."

So back in the day you were better at being an apologist for pederast/rapists?
