Sheesh! I had no idea that "Woodstock" was to blame for Pedophile Priests.

From Maureen Dowd's piece this morning:

In yet another attempt at rationalization, the nation’s Catholic bishops — a group Dolan is now in charge of — put out a ridiculous five-year-study last month going with the “blame Woodstock” explanation for the sex-abuse scandal. The report suggested that the problem was caused by permissive secular society rather than cloistered church culture, because priests were trained in the turbulent free-love era. It concluded, absurdly, that neither the all-male celibate priesthood nor homosexuality were causes.

11. Priests have been pedophiles

for the entire period of church history. If anything in the modern time from the 1960s onward there has been a lessening of sexual abuse.
