They'd have got away with it if it wasn't for them pesky kids

Yes, the Catholic Church, in the form of the Bishop of Tenerife, has unearthed the guilty party in the sexual abuse scandals sweeping the world.

His comments were that there are youngsters who want to be abused, and he compared that abuse to homosexuality, describing them both as prejudicial to society. He said that on occasions the abuse happened because the there are children who consent to it.

"There are 13 year old adolescents who are under age and who are perfectly in agreement with, and what's more wanting it, and if you are careless they will even provoke you", he said.

Yes, it's the children. The doe-eyed little teases lining up at the communion rail, making come-hither gestures in the sacristy. What's a priest to do? Entrapment!

I'd stay away from Tenerife if you have kids. You wouldn't want to be responsible for the effect your children have on His Grace, would you?
