So the crimes of the people who opposed the sexual revolution were caused by the sexual revolution

even though it is known the epidemic of sex crime goes back into the past as far as human eyes can see.

Emeritus Pope Benedict blames the Catholic Church's sex crimes on homosexuality and the sexual revolution of the 1960s

An open letter from Emeritus Pope Benedict that blames the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis on homosexuality and the sexual revolution of the 1960s is drawing deep criticism from Catholic theologians in the U.S. who call it divisive and "embarrassingly wrong."

"Among the freedoms that the Revolution of 1968 sought to fight for was this all-out sexual freedom, one which no longer conceded any norms," Benedict writes in a lengthy treatise released Wednesday in his native Germany. 

"Pedophilia was then also diagnosed as allowed and appropriate."

Utter horseshit as everyone knows, including him.

So, a big fucking lie, the kind worthy of Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh.

And here is another twist of the knife.

Women Sexually Abused By Catholic Nuns Speak Up: She Told Me It Was ‘God’s Love’

Update.

There was more to Benedict's letter than that nonsense, though.

In the essay, Benedict traced the start of the clergy abuse crisis to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, citing the appearance of sex in films in his native Bavaria. 

He also blamed the crisis on failures of moral theology in that era, as well as church laws that gave undue protection to accused priests.

Benedict wrote that during the 1980s and 1990s, "the right to a defense (for priests) was so broad as to make a conviction nearly impossible."

As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict reformed those laws in 2001 to make it easier to remove priests who abused children. 

Benedict took a hard line against clerical sex abuse as the Vatican's conservative doctrine chief, and later as pope, defrocking hundreds of priests accused of raping and molesting children.
