Vatican bid to scapegoat homosexuals condemned

I’M aghast at Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone’s blind assertion that homosexuality is linked to paedophilia (April 12).

There is absolutely no study which shows a correlation between the two or which shows that homosexuality causes paedophilia.

I am not at all surprised, however, that an organisation which refuses to address its own grim failings in an appropriate manner chooses to make scapegoats of an innocent minority group in order to deflect some of the international media attention away from themselves.
