I agree with your assessment wrt the gay community, etc.  However, you can't
absolve the Catholic Church either, because it has consistently turned a blind
eye to what was going on.  In fact, in most of these cases, the offending
priest was transferred to some other parish and the victim's family was paid
off to keep them quiet.  The church hierarchy knew full well what was going on
and made a conscious decision to cover it up instead of confronting the problem
publicly and restoring people's faith in the church and in its priests.

That is from someone who is an observer watching what goes on, and from knowing
someone who was victimized many years ago as a altar boy.  My friend came close
to killing himself over it.
