Paul Cameron pops up yet again

(For those who read my recent blog on Jesse Dirkhising and Mary Stachowicz, I apologize. What you read was a rough draft that I composed this morning with a full intent of working on later. However I forgot that my blog has a self saving function. Therefore when I pressed a control in order to save it, I inadvertently posted it. I have corrected the blog entry.)

Yesterday, I talked about how commentator and think tank troll Dinesh D'Souza tried to link gays and pedophilia.

He was talking about the recent decision by the Los Angeles Catholic Diocese to pay over $600 million to the victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic priests.

I am surprised that D'Souza did not cite "research" to prove his point. And you know whose "research" I speak of.

Well today, someone else did.

In a piece that out-and-out blames gay men for sexual abuse in the Catholic church, Philip Magnan, president of Family Bible Advocates says the following:

What is not being reported by the news media is that the majority of those who were sexually abused across the nation were most likely adolescent boys, which makes the case that these precious minors were abused by homosexual men.

Magnan, who is not a not a medical professional or researcher, is pushing the lie that if a man molest a boy, then that automatically makes the man gay.

This is not true. In fact, there is no link between pedophilia and homosexuality. This comes from the mouths of the American Psychological Association, the National Association of Social Workers, the American Academy of Child Psychiatrists and the Child Welfare League of America.

And since these bodies have training in such things, I will trust their word more than that of Magnan.

Magnan also says the following:

"I now wonder if the general public will consider that children in other institutions like public schools are at higher risk by allowing homosexual teachers to associate with their children? "

The link that Magnan used (and clearly shown in the above sentence) comes from the web page of Paul Cameron, our discredited friend.

It's sad when so-called Christian people continue to lie for their own point of view.

Perhaps Magnan should remember that Biblical verse about pride.
