Subject: RE: BS: Pope 'condones condom use in some cases
Sorry, the last sentence in the first paragraph in my first post should have been under pedophilia, not puberty, as below>

"puberty The stage in the development of humans and other primates marked by the development of secondary sex characteristics, including menarche in females. In humans, puberty occurs at the onset of adolescence, between the ages of about 11 and 14 in girls and 13 and 16 in boys".

"The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems defines pedophilia as "a sexual preference for children, boys or girls or both, usually of prepubertal or early pubertal age."[5] Under this system's criteria, a person 16 years of age or older meets the definition if they have a persistent or predominant sexual preference for prepubescent children at least five years younger than them"

"The term (pedophilia) has a range of definitions as found in psychiatry, psychology, the vernacular, and law enforcement".
