Do you know how many ancient societies allowed pedophilia by modern standards? A lot more than those that didn't, not that that's to say it makes it morally right, but to say they weren't exactly low on the morality spectrum.

Well then, we should be glad Christianity ended stuff like that in the Western World :)

bullshit?

mariage with 12-14 years (and consummation) was pretty much standard throughout europe even with christianity in place - from our point of view that is pedophilia

I always though marriages/unions at that age back in classical/ancient times was because Life expectancy was lower than what it is now.

Yeah... I don't get why people getting caught up on it. It was probably as simple as that. The distinction between childhood and adulthood was just different.
