So priests bang on about homosexuality being a sinful act, yet have no problem molesting young boys.

Fucking hypocrites.

Yes I don't think you'll find too many people who disagree with you there.

I certainly agree that child abuse is about the lowest thing anybody claiming to be human can possibly do. But statements like this are stupid. Not all, not even most, priests molest young boys. Yet HotRod's statement makes it so the acts of a minority represent the whole church, and therefore the whole Catholic priesthood is hypocritical. This is called stereotyping and overgeneralizing. It's the same problem that leads to racism, sexism, Islamophobia, and other stupid bigotry that I'm sure HotRod is opposed to. So instead of making a fool of himself in public by acting the role of hypocrite himself, maybe he should share his "educated" opinions with his real life friends and no one else. It's morons like this that make meaningful discussion impossible.
