Why are priests usually gay pedophiles, or stereotyped to be?

From what I've researched, it dates back to the early 20th century. It's a well-known fact that the Catholic Church has always, ALWAYS been strongly opposed to Communism. Josef Stalin knew this and wanted to undermine the Church, so he ordered Communist agents, many of them homosexuals, to enter the seminaries and get ordained. They would subtly distort the Church's teachings and corrupt the minds of the faithful, and as time went by, they would advance to become bishops and would then recruit and ordain more like them.

A woman named Bella Dodd was one of the recruiters. She eventually converted to the Church, but by then, a lot of the guys she had recruited were already deeply entrenched. So right now, we're looking at several generations' worth of priests, bishops, and cardinals who are either gay themselves or sympathetic.

As for why they are stereotyped, at this point, it's pretty obvious on the sex abuse scandals alone. Add onto that that the Church only has the authority to ordain men to the priesthood and until the 1990s, only boys were altar servers, you have the aforementioned "gay pedophile" stereotype.

some are pedophiles for different reasons. some are into occult rituals involving pedophilia and others are just perverts. Same applies with politicians and celebrities. For example, Allison Mack who was famously known from a tv show was charged with sex trafficking with a lot of other rich people. Prince andrew and many other members of the royal family were also seen on jeffery epstiens flight logs along with bill clinton tom hanks etc.. it goes further than just priests if you are specifically talking about the high ranking ones, I am sure the vatican also does some sick rituals too.

They are stereotyped to be that way because of many highly embarrassing incidents over the centuries, where men of the cloth found ways around celibacy by deciding that rape of blasphemers and child molestation were not forms of sexual intercourse that god counted against the purity of priests.

wow your answer really made sense... thanks :D

Catholic doctrine (not christian, mind you) entered into a weirdly aggressive warrior religion as the Roman Empire fell. The church provided a political stability. Politics and religion get super oppressive when combined

Celibate is not natural for the human being. The ones that cannot handle just get off to whatever they cqn. Child are more likely to remain silent and be manipulated and the ones that do that suck for that same exact reason.

In regards to the stereotyped. When enough people have done something the stereotype grows roots on local culture, global if it's widespread enough.

Gay pedophiles isn’t a thing. A pedophile just likes children. Priests go after boys bc they’re less likely to say anything. And probably more pliable being a father figure and church authority. But pedo’s have been known to go after both genders, as long as theyre children.

There are a lot of priests that are pedophiles or have really dirty minds. Also, it's a funny thing to joke about.

They’re not USUALLY pedophiles, we usually HEAR of the pedophilic ones in the media because why else would any other regular priest make headlines? Like how Muslims aren’t usually terrorists but we only hear of those who committed the act 😒

[Asker]

yeah but whenever you hear about them, it's on them touching little boys

[StephenCF]

@Asker I just explained that. You’re still wrong about saying they’re “usually pedophiles”, that’s like saying gays usually have aids

It's more a stereotype, and it's exclusively prevalent in the Chatholic church. You don't see this amongst any other types of Christianity

Religious people are not the most moral people out there. They love raping young kids, flying planes into buildings and treating women and the LGBTQ like shit

They are usually opposite of what you are referring to them.

Very few are likely to be described by your question.

VERY few are actually gay pedophiles, but the small handful who are have given the rest a bad rep.

They are taught to be gay pedophiles by the Bible
