En organisasjon som kalles The Ruth Institute har nettopp publisert en ny rapport (LES DEN HER<\/a>) «that dares to ask a question many researchers \u2014 and Catholics \u2014 have been afraid to ask: What has been the role of active homosexuality and homosexual subcultures in the priesthood and in seminaries on the sex-abuse crisis?» Artikkelen sier videre:<\/p>\n

The report \u2014 which indicates a very strong correlation between homosexual priests and homosexual subcultures and the incidence of clergy sexual abuse \u2014 is in part a response to the two important studies commissioned by the U.S. Bishops in the face of the sex-abuse crisis that were conducted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The 2004 study was entitled, \u201cThe Nature and Scope of the Problem of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests and Deacons in the United States,\u201d and the 2011 report was called, \u201cThe Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2011 report was heavily criticized at the time of its release for its assertion that it found no evidence that homosexual priests were to blame for the abuse crisis, despite the fact that more than 80% of the victims were male and that 78% were postpubescent. Critics claimed that the report bowed to political correctness and fear of a backlash in academia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her er hans hovedargument for at den tidligere rapporten fra the John Jay College tok feil mht. korrelasjonen mellom seksuelt misbruk i Kirken og antallet homofile prester:<\/p>\n

The John Jay Report in 2011 denied that that was the case because they said that the trend of abuse did not correspond with the trend of homosexual men in the priesthood. So that abuse was highest in the mid-1970s. But the reports of homosexual activity in the seminaries did not increase until the 1980s. So they argued that since by the time we were aware that they had these kinds of lurid homosexual cultures and homosocial activities in the Catholic seminaries, the abuse was already declining so it couldn\u2019t have had anything to do with that activity or with the presence of homosexuals. And so I critically examine that thesis. I really don\u2019t have a general criticism of the John Jay study at all. In fact, I have a lot of appreciation and admiration for that study.<\/p>\n

But for that particular point, I point out that the percent of homosexual men who are ordained in any year or the presence of homosexual activity in seminaries can\u2019t relate very strongly to the percent of homosexual priest in priesthood. Because each year we ordain a relatively small proportion of new priests. It\u2019s about 1%. So even if all of that 1% were homosexual, it doesn\u2019t affect the percent of homosexual men and the priesthood very much at all. What we have to do is to look at what percentage of men were of a homosexual orientation in the entire presbyterate in any given year in order to see if that is correlated with the incidents of abuse \u2014 and even more importantly to see if that\u2019s correlated with the percent of victims who were male in any year. And so that\u2019s what I do in this report.<\/p>\n

I use data from a survey that was done in 2002 that measured the sexual orientation of Catholic priests and used a modified Kinsey scale, which in this case was a five-point scale, measuring from a completely homosexual orientation to completely heterosexual orientation and then categories in between; and also ask about year of ordination and the year of birth. And so from that, I\u2019m able to compute what percentage of priests reported a homosexual orientation in any given year, going back to the 1950s. And when I overlay that trend with the trend and abuse, it\u2019s almost a perfect correlation. The correlation is 0.98. A perfect correlation is 1.0. So it\u2019s as close an association as you can get.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
