text: If I may just add, in some studies as many as 90% of the sexual attacks on minors by priests have been homosexual attacks on sexually mature but legally underage boys.
  
  This phenomenon is properly called "ephebophilia" rather than pedophilia - an even more vile form of attack that has been rare among Catholic clergy.
  
  Ephebophilia is fairly common in the gay male world and many gay males can tell stories about their first sexual encounter as a pubescent boy with an adult homosexual male.
