While not excusing those responsible for turning pedophiles loose in society, it should be remembered that the psychological establishment in our country (the odd studying the id?), which recently asserted that homosexual conduct is "normal and good," was accustomed previously to proclaiming pedophiles curable and cured, when in fact they are and were not.
Some American bishops in their decisions evidently and unfortunately relied on such faulty and gravely flawed "scientific advice." More recent studies seem to show that pedophilia, like alcoholism, is a permanent situation, possibly controllable, but never curable.
