  • Ha, indeed catcher caught.

    Calling a rape 'forced' - separates it from coerced sex with a minor, that's all I was doing, so - yes, there is such a thing as non-forced sexual abuse (the more common kind in child abuse cases), but this is all an academic side show really - and I take your point that we don't really know (without extensive research and good evidence) how many priests groomed and how many forced - I will be more careful in the construction of my rants next time.

    Tynan, you say it has to be said but does it?

    Yes, for the reasons I gave.

    On here anyway?

    Yes, here, anywhere, everywhere.

    And I don't think these men raped because they were religious though like most paedophiles they may have constructed some twisted rationale that included their faith in some way; that is speculation.

    Agreed, it would be speculation if anyone were to make the point that these men raped because they were religious, but I don't think anyone has made that point.
