What other occupation has so many pedophiles among their ranks? And do you want to know why?

Because the bible has no laws against Men being with boys! Or with underage girls for that matter.

In Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus states that he is not there to change the law of the old testament in even the smallest detail. According to the Talmud, a document Jesus studied, the recommended marriage age for boys was 13 and for girls was 12. It was also acceptable by talmudic law to betroth a girl at the age of 3 years and 1 day. This was because it was believed that this was the age at which the hymen had developed and would not grow back. It is also permissible in the talmud to formalize a betrothal with intercourse. The only real concern was that of preserving virginity until a betrothal could be effected, at which stage it was the property of the husband-to-be.

The only real restriction seemed to be against extramarital sex, whereas sexual activity at any age above three years and a day was acceptable so long as there was a marriage pending or realized. Betrothal and marriage appear to have been synonymous in the Talmud and the bible.

Enough Said!

I found a HUGE list of just members of Boston Archdiocese. I havent checked it against your list and it is a bit out of date. It is a pretty long list so if you care to email me I can send it to you.

Great post and cause. I love it.
