1. This OP is incoherent and horrifying

Attraction to young people with adult sexual characteristics (post-pubescent) is not pedophilia.

It isn't. That is not a value judgment, it is definitional and common sense.

The OP suggests that the thrill of calling some priests pedophiles who are not pedophiles is so great that we need to rethink not calling Allen a pedophile (for a relatiuonahip with an adult, no less), lest we lose that fun of calling some priests pedophiles who are not.

An overt promotion of ignorance. Shameful and disgusting post.

There are in fact two discussions entwined - whether or not the act happened, hedgehog Feb 2014 #33

I actually don't believe there is any way to know whether the act happened. Squinch Feb 2014 #37
