hello jess thanks for your help as it is greatly appreciated i have found more sources for the claim in the article that it was a 'crisis of homosexuality' i'm sure you'll go though the article but the sentence that shows why we need to delete the celibacy part of the argument is the first sentence which also supports the need to give it a name of a cris of homosexuality which states celibacy is not the cause behind the child sex abuse scandal that has shattered the priesthood and imploded the catholic church blame homosexuality the vatican's second in command claims i maintain it has been a homosexual crisis all along the evidence is all on my side though there is a reluctance to let the data drive the conclusion but that is a function of politics not scholarship bill from the catholic league so i think from an objective pov we can say that it has been a crisis of homosexuality with a few other contributing factors but that celibacy and seminary training were not one of them i mean that is quite a strong assertion to make don't you think the idea that you can blame an institution like the catholic seminary for a series of generalized horrific crimes i don't think we can say although the abuse was pervasive we don't have enough evidence to say that it was institutional a byproduct of an organization in this case the catholic seminary let me know what you think
