Report: Brazil bishop says kids spontaneously gay

RIO DE JANEIRO — A Brazilian archbishop said adolescents are “spontaneously homosexual” and in need of guidance, while society at large is pedophile, according to a Wednesday report.
Archbishop Dadeus Grings — a conservative priest who has made controversial statements in the past — told the O Globo newspaper at a Brazilian bishops conference that society’s woes are being reflected in the sex abuse scandal enveloping the Roman Catholic Church.
“Society today is pedophile, that is the problem. So, people easily fall into it. And the fact it is denounced is a good sign,” Grings told O Globo.
The comments come as the church is under fire for a sex abuse scandal touching all corners of the globe — and three weeks after Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the No. 2 official at the Vatican, said at a news conference in Chile that the sex scandals were linked to homosexuality and not celibacy among priests.

I don’t know how much of this is accurate but I know one thing—whether the archbishop said it or not—is clearly wrong. He is quoted as saying that boys play with boys and girls with girls and without guidance ‘this sticks.’ That, I submit, is false. What happens is puberty, when boys and girls see each other in a whole new light. Parents don’t need to point that out. It is natural.
