When I became Catholic I suddenly found out how the rule works. Any Pervert outside the church was called gay and considered a victim of society. Any pervert inside the church was it called a pederast and considered a sexual preditor, even though their behavior is largely the same.

INFORMED! CONSENT! How hard is that to get?
Those priest are called pedo's not because they're religious and/or homosexual, but because they preyed upon helpless children. Likewise, homosexuality in general is tolerated because it's between two consenting adults .
That's the (massive) difference between being gay and being a pedo. Religion and your sickening persecution complex have nothing to do with it.
Perverts, gays and predators do not work that way.
The rule is when you say you're going to run my life because I'm not moral enough to run it myself you will lose all credibility when you are an international child molesting operation. And you won't be allowed to run my life.
Guy has a consensual romantic/sexual relationship with another guy.
Guy does sexual stuff on a child/teen against that kid's will.
How are these similar, dumbass?
********
Who was the idiot, long ago, who conjured-up "Homosexual = Nonce"? It's a stupid as "Nose Picking = Suicide".
So...
If a Catholic priest has sex with a minor, he's a pedophile and a pervert.
If a dude has sex with a minor, he's a pedophile and a pervert.
The additional scorn is because the Catholic priest is supposed to be chaste and would likely condemn such behavior.
John C Wrong is at it again. Being Wrong, that is.
The gays outside (and in) the church are not sexual predators, and are not called perverts.
The child-molesters inside (and out) of the church are sexual predators, and are called perverts.
Gay behavior is being attracted to adults of the same gender.
Sexual predator behavior is molesting children who can't give informed consent.
Their behaviors are VERY different.
A couple of points here, John:
(1) We (the civilized world in general) are not having fits about priest-on-priest sex. It's the pedophiles that rightly get most people upset.
(2) Consider the arrogant hypocrisy of an organization that preaches morality at others, collects money from the parents, abuses the children, and then defends the priests instead of addressing the problem, and maybe you'll get a clue.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
