Beauty and the Priest

(3)

Beauty and the Priest refers to the recent delicious scandal in New York City. This latest scandal must have come (eheh) as a relief to New York Catholics who, among other Catholics, have been inundated in recent years by tales of priestly molestations of underage boys. 'Thank God! Some of them are actually heterosexuals!'

Then there is the case of Pamela Rogers, a good-looking school teacher who seduced one or more underage boys. Apparently she was sentenced to only nine months in jail and this has upset some folks. I concur with the sentence. Here is why:

Boys and girls are different. Boys need to actually enjoy the sexual situation in order to really participate, whereas girls can be forced to participate in spite of their revulsion. For this reason I see the two categories in totally different perspectives and I therefore agree with the judge who imposed such a light sentence. Maybe he, like me, wondered where this gloriously good-looking woman was when he needed her?
