Pointing out the Double Standard: Pederasty Has Its Upside

Edit: Well, at least Shea's doing something useful for a a change, and he correctly points out that the obvious hypocrisy we've been pointing out all along. Touchay, sashay Shea, you hired gun, you. We've been pointing out the media's inability to judge homosexual celebrities engaging in pederasty with the disapproval it deserves, while it invariably attacks the Catholic Church.

This kind of special pleading needs to be pointed out, especially when Mark Shea does it.

I hate being right all the time, but I predicted exactly this years ago. The reality has never been that our elites much care about victims of sexual abuse: They care about having a useful tool to bash the Church, which some pervert priests and (far more) some spectacularly bad bishops have handed them. But the fact remains that, when the Right Sort of Roman rapes a kid, the people who were cursing and swearing about sexual abuse will turn themselves into pretzels to justify it.

Indeed, Kathy Shaidle is quite right (she agrees with me! How could it be otherwise) to note that our chattering classes have been quietly laboring to mainstream pedophilia for quite some time now.
