I don't really know if I understand the causes of pedophilia, there may be some deep underlying issues with those individuals but I don't have the education to understand what drives that psychological bent.
Here's what I do know. 55-60 years ago Catholic priests molested me. When I spoke of it, my devout father thought I was lying and punished me severely. Over time I tried to explain to people that I had less anger with that priest than I did with the people who tried to hide all of that. The priest was a nutcase but the people who enabled him and hid him from law enforcement and parents of children who were molested were the people who MADE A CHOICE. My father was very humbled when headlines in the local paper appeared where that priest had been arrested for child molestation. He was finally killed by an outraged parent.
So yeah when it comes to the mistreatment of children, I have some experience with that. Usually when I speak of this I get pity which I do not need or juvenile jokes which says more about that person than it ever will about mistreatment of children. But then those people are making a choice as well.
