1. And... your completely wrong.  The percentage of pedohplies in teh priesthood was never way higher then the percentage of pedophiles in the general population.

Again it's lower.  That's what the research shows.

So... you are completley off base and misinformed.

Also pedophillia is something that is caused at a very early age... by the time someone would be old enough to be a priest said behevaior will have already manifested.

Additionally research seems there is a heavy biological component involved.


2.People don't just become pedophiles.  They have to be biologically receptive and also have something else trigger it... before or during their sexual development.

30 year old people don't magically become pedophiles.  Once you hit sexual maturity you are either  a pedophile or you aren't.

I think you need to do some more studying of Psychology.

I mean heck... teachers have power over children... parents too.  Do you think Parenthood turns people into pedophiles?


1. I said in the 60-70 where pedophilia was rempant in priesthood, not today

2. Something to trigger it, thats what I said. Surely if you have pre-disposition then your more likely to trigger the problem. Tough, it can happen with or without pre-disposition. And, even if you have pre-disposition (whatever the factors) problem may never arise. So no its not true that a pedophile priest would have been one nonetheless. It may, but not neccessarily. What about the army mens who rape women from the enemy. Would they have been rapist anyway if they handt been place in that situation? What about the one that will do it because the other does it?

3. Both of my parents are psychologist, ive discussed about psychology since a very young age. And you?

 

Between, if you didnt get it, my point is that, in many instance the serial killer or pedophile would be one nonetheless but not neccessarily. In the orphanage there was more pedophile priest than in other situation. Sure, there could be many factors to explain that. But its not as simple as black or white. Thats what im trying to explain to you.


1.  Which, surprise surprise,  isn't true.  It wasn't more prevelent then in the general population then.

2.  By the time someone is a priest it's too late to trigger it.   Pedophillia has to be triggered BEFORE sexual maturity.  So again.   You are wrong. 

3.  I personally have a degree in psychology.  Try talking to your parents about this again if they really are psychologists.  You are wrong.  They will tell you as such.  Padophillia has to be triggered BEFORE sexual maturity.

Like any mental problem it can be develop or trigger at anytime. Theres no absolute rule, you should know that. Pedophilia is not a sexual preference its a mental problem.

No... It's both.
