In early 1980, parishioners report an incident with a boy and Becker, himself, writes a letter that acknowledges his homosexual orientation to teenage boys.
Of course, Father Becker lacked the benefit of the now Archdiocese-mandated Safeguarding All of God's Family program, in which we were told it was a myth that "Most sexual abusers are homosexual". In the context of the recent difficulties in our Archdiocese and in the Church around the country, one goal of this program is to dispel an impression that these difficulties result largely from priests who molested boys.

ReplyDeleteNice evasion--worthy of HRC.
Most sex abusers worldwide, across all denominations and cultures ARE heterosexual, of course.
But the fact remains that homosexual abuse dominates the settlements paid by Milwaukee and other RC dioceses which, ignoring Rome, simply ordained homosexuals.
