The excellent site "Fratres in Unum , 'reading daily essential for all who want to stay well informed on the issues highlighted involving the Catholic Church in the world, brings a response from Father Renato Leite to the article "St. Pedophilia," Helium Schwartzman, the Folha de Sao Paulo:
"Reading your article on pedophilia in the ranks of the Catholic Church wondered why a Jew, who stands out as anticlerical, which takes the array of Masonic thought as a means of analyzing reality and acknowledging publicly that the Church ranks as grave sin of pedophilia, proved so critical to analyze the problem when this happens in the Catholic Church and so forgiving when it occurs among members of the synagogue? And to sustain
pretentiously on "facts" and avoid those that are closest to liability in similar cases, said that without base:
"The form of organization of the Catholic Church, however, seems to favor the occurrence of abuses that, at least apparently does not happen on the same scale in colleges and seminaries Protestants, Muslims or Jews.
Whence the idea that the abuses do not occur "apparently on the same scale" including similar institutions in Jewish? The incidence of pedophilia among the members of the synagogue can be even more "rugged" what happens when the Catholic Church. Really?
is what got to see The New York Times in a report clarifying language that gives us a sample size of the problem between the Jews and the practice of Jewish religious authorities in addressing the issue and says that, among other things: "No longer is more taboo to prosecute for child abuse in New York, Ultra Orthodox Jews "according to the article by Paul Vitello. They suffered no
cases of pedophilia, but that changed with the Attorney General Charles J. Hynes. Eight people have already been arrested and 18 are awaiting trial. There
religious prohibition against him outside the group, including under threat of death. As was the rabbi's approval is required, but it never gave permission, and the religious courts (the synagogue) where the accused were acquitted, the families decided to turn to common justice. Forty smaller
agreed to testify in court. Some blogs, like FailedMessiah and The Unortodox Jew, have encouraged victims.
Religious leaders are beginning to accept the situation, and Hynes has been holding meetings with ultraconservative groups to encourage victims to come forward. There are 180,000 Jews in New York ultraconservative. To
David Zwiebel, of Agudath Israel of America: "There consensus in recent years that many of these cases can not be resolved within the community. " But he thinks he should find alternatives to prison, not to take a family that provides her with the bread, and find good families who will have their children removed from their families.
In 2000, Rabbi Baruch Lanner, the charismatic leader of the main yeshiva and youth for over 20 years has been accused of abuse was the subject of a revealing article in The Jewish Week that resulted in a penalty of seven years in prison.
There are radio programs that encourage victims to make accusations, like Dov Hikind, the radio station WMCA. Hundreds of young made objections.
The father of a boy of six years he was abused by Rabbi Kolko was to seek permission from a Jerusalem rabbi of high prestige to go to the police.
The answer was: "Go, because you're not committing any sin."

I ask you: should be credited cases of pedophile rabbis form of organization of the synagogue? How to rationally evaluate a growing problem among Jewish religious authorities if they are not celibate and, instead, forced marriage and child bearing differently from members of the Catholic clergy?
would also cover up criminal cases between Jews and rabbis from the synagogue should be respected or alleged "autonomy" of Judaism, not forced to denounce the civil authorities and also consider legitimate the use of threat of death to avoid scandals like practiced by the religious authorities of Hasidin in New York?
The problem is all and in some cases, as demonstrated by the article "New York Times, even more serious than when it occurs in Catholic circles, with the right cover-up and threats, however, accusing fingers like yours, only point to the Catholic Church.
As shown, his analysis of the matter is simplistic and biased and, in fact, your article has no other intention but to enforce his opinion, be said in passing, and anticlerical facts, the facts themselves . It is your article
disqualified as a valuation benchmark that the problem of pedophilia, as you acknowledged, is actually the problem of homosexual relations with minors and in the case of Judaism, there appears to be lower, the opposite is as great or greater, proportionally speaking as to what happens in the Catholic Church also involving hundreds of young people.
You can not conclude anything from the analysis of the facts, unless the existence of an opportunistic smear campaign against the Catholic Church that has the media professionals, with low levels of intellectual honesty, as is the case, their most effective tools. "
