Wish I could give this comment 20 stars.  I read your article and am glad it points out the very important distinction that due to power imbalance, sexual contact between the cleric and a vulnerable adult is also abuse.  I am a physician, and if I had sexual contact with a patient this would not be "an affair" it would be gross misconduct and negligence on my part.  I had essential training in my residency on this very point, but wonder whether that kind of training happens in seminary.  Several posters on this site reiterate the fraudulent idea that because some abuse victims are post pubescent 17 year old males, that the sex abuse scandal is about homosexuality, not power.  They would do well to read your article.
