Many right wing, ultra-conservative, bible thumpers believe that it is the gay people who are attacking the children. Why, even homophobic activist Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality declared to Martha Kleder of Concerned Women for America that pedophilia is a "subset of the larger deviancy" of homosexuality.

But really, is it? Aren't there others out there who take advantage of children for their own pleasure? Well, of course there are. And in just the last week, these "men of faith" - bible readers if not thumpers at the very least - have proven that point. JoeMyGod
New York: Pastor Michael Clare charged with first degree rape of 12 year-old girl.
Texas: Pastor Larry Gene Martin charged with aggravated sexual assault on a 12 year-old girl.
New Brunswick: Father Albert LeBlanc charged with 40 counts of sexual assault on boys between the ages of seven and eleven.
Florida: Pastor Jason Allen Roberts charged with felony child molestation.
New York: Santeria priest Miguel Leon convicted of child molestation.
Indiana: Father Wayne Wigglesworth sentenced to ten years in prison for attempted molestation of a 15 year-old boy.
Wisconsin: Pastor Travis Gandy pleads no contest to possession of child pornography.
Utah: Pastor Aaron Witcher pleads guilty to two counts of raping a minor.
Michigan: Father Herbert Richey is still working for the Detroit Archdiocese despite having been defrocked for child molestation.
Sort of sounds like pedophilia and molestation are somewhat the "subset" of some Christian deviants, too.
That's not why priests can't marry though...
