isn't it funny that in the folk music threads, I generally disagree a lot with Jim Carroll's views. Yet in the BS threads, and especially the sad repulsive threads about clerical abuse, I can do no more than agree with him wholeheartedly.

Jim, don't keep rising to the bait. Akenaton is pulling your plonker. Why? Because reading his diatribe, it doesn't take a trick cyclist to see his suppressed tendency to homosexuality has not been admitted to even to himself, so his brain reacts by making him paranoid.

As this is about power, domination of others and forcing your will, (a more specific aspect of organised religion) then it is quite normal that most of the abuse is against boys not girls. A man will see another man as a future potential threat to his alpha male complex, so needs to subdue the poor young lad.

Nothing to do with being gay, just more to do with power lust.

Oh, and depraved criminality, but that goes without saying, unless you are a Cardinal in denial about your colleagues.
