(Independent UK) A South African cardinal has said paedophilia is not "a criminal condition", but a psychological illness.

The church is still dealing with historic international evidence of sexual abuse by priests and allegations of a cover-up.

As recently as this month, the BBC claimed to have seen evidence that bishops in the Catholic Church in Scotland knew about 20 allegations of child sex abuse by priests between 1985 and 1995.

Wilfrid Fox Napier, The Catholic Archbishop of Durban, told BBC Radio 5 Live that people who were abused during childhood and became paedophiles were not criminally responsible for their actions in the same way as somebody "who chooses to do something like that". ....................(more)

WTF is all I have to say.

What gets me is all the replies say how ridiculous that is and it is a crime. I bet you in a couple of years these same people will hear this same thing from some liberal and they will change their tune and start having compassion because they were born that way.

I kinda agree with him. It is a sickness. What do you do when you have an infection? You go to the doc and get some medicine that kills the infection.

'Nuff said.

As far as I am concerned all pedos should be whipped, castrated and then drawn and quartered. The remains then should be hung for the buzzards and the bones should be ground up and fed to other pedos for their last meal.

I prefer impaling them alive and keeping them alive as long as possible. Same goes with anyone who defends them.

The problem I have is, he was saying it is not criminal, which to me means that they shouldn't be prosecuted according to this guy.

We have already seen the DUmmies discuss how pedophiles are born that way, which leads to the conclusion that if one is born that way that society is supposed to change to suit them, and to accept them.
