The Vatican says only 10 percent of cases involve classic pedophilia (children), while 90% involved ephebophilia (adolescents and teens), and more than half of them involved male priests molesting male adolescents — ergo, a gay scandal, I guess, at least in their minds.
–Kevin Eckstrom of the Religion News Service, who apparently doesn’t believe that adult male-teen male sex constitutes homosexual behavior or involve homosexual predators (perhaps the priests in questions were actually straight guys whose sexual experience was so limited that they couldn’t tell the difference between boys and girls)
Lila Rose’s Live Action organization continues to document deceptive and dishonest counseling being offered at Planned Parenthood clinics across the country. The latest comes from Milwaukee, where a “counselor” tells a woman she believes to be six to eight weeks pregnant that her womb contains nothing but “fetal matter,” and that the “embryo” has “no legs, no arms, no head, no brain, no heart”–all scientifically incorrect, and all designed to smooth the path to the destruction of another life:
Rose is a student at UCLA, and has done amazing work uncovering the web of lies and greed that lie at the heart of Planned Parenthood’s abortion business. She says:
Planned Parenthood has an abortion-first mentality that is driven both by ideology and the desire for money. Since women will often choose against abortion if they learn the scientific facts about the unborn child inside the womb, Planned Parenthood distorts basic facts in an attempt to perform more abortions.

What They’re Saying
"Reformed Pastor is the best blog to keep up with what's happening among reasserting Presbyterians. ...And David often provides excellent commentary on things Anglican."
