Santorum Blames The Boys

Oh my God! This is truly sad. Can Senator Rick Santorum possibly be this closed minded and ignorant? What century is this man living in where he thinks that young boys want to have a relationship with old priests? I cannot believe he thinks that this sick scandal was based on consensual relationships.

"In this case, what we're talking about, basically, is priests who were having sexual relations with post-pubescent men. We're not talking about priests with 3-year-olds, or 5-year-olds. We're talking about a basic homosexual relationship. Which, again, according to the world view sense is a a perfectly fine relationship as long as it's consensual between people. If you view the world that way, and you say that's fine, you would assume that you would see more of it. "

Has this man not seen the number of middle aged men who were molested by Priests as pre/young teens who are still struggling with the pain and shame of being violated? Has he not seen these grown men crying, still? Has he not seen the devastation and guilt that it has wreaked upon parents of faith who assumed that their children were safe when alone with the clergy?
