JOHANNESBURG - A South African cardinal who helped elect Pope Francis this week has told the BBC pedophilia is an illness and not a crime.

Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier, the Catholic Archbishop of Durban, told BBC Radio 5 on Saturday that pedophilia was a "disorder" that needed to be treated.

"From my experience, pedophilia is actually an illness. It's not a criminal condition, it's an illness," he said.

Napier said he knew of at least two priests who became pedophiles after they were abused as children.

"Now don't tell me that those people are criminally responsible like somebody who chooses to do something like that. I don't think you can really take the position and say that person deserves to be punished. He was himself damaged."

The Catholic Church has had its image deeply tarnished by a widespread child *** abuse scandal.

Napier was one of the 115 cardinals in the Vatican conclave that elected Pope Francis on Wednesday, the BBC reported.

The first non-European pope in nearly 1,300 years, Francis has signaled a sharp change of style from his predecessor, Benedict, for the 1.2-billion-member Church, which is beset by scandals, intrigue and strife.

He said on Saturday the church should be poor and remember that its mission is to serve the poor.

Naay scientific data ang cardinal to prove his claim nga illness ang pedophilia? Kay kun naa, mutuo man ko niya. Nya wala man! His claim is just based on personal experience.

We all know that child molestation is a crime, legally speaking.

Para sa mga Cardinals, ang homosexuality is a crime daw because it is not in accordance with God's laws daw. Nya, it was scientifically proven na homosexuality is genetically determined and the genes play an important role sa homosexuality. Nya ang homosexuality na nuon ang maconsider nga sin, ug ang pedophilia kay dili sin?!

PAGKADAKONG BINUANG SA BLACK CARDINAL! MAYNALANG WA KA NAELECT AS POPE!

PASENSYA NA KUNG MAGTINAGALOG KO HA (kay tagalog man jud ko)

KASING ITIM NG BALAT MO ANG KULAY NG BUDHI MO!

Leche na lang!

Let me agree with you on this one. hehe

So if anyone become a rapist because he was then had been a victim since childhood, then it is not a crime but an illness..

So giconclude sa mga BUGO nga Cardinal nga illness ang pedophilia? Unsa kaha ang reaction sa medical community ani? Kung illness ni, maypa muadto sila sa hospital, ipacheck up nila ang ilang pagka MANYAK! Or much better magpa confine sila didto arun mawala ang pedophilia nila! KAY ILLNESS MAN KAHA NA!

Sa mga magdemand nga irespetar nako ang mga Catholic Cardinals, pasensha-ay ta! Dugay na nawala ang akong respeto sa mga gi**ay nga Cardinal! Ngano itolerate man nila ang pedophilia sa Catholic church?! They are ruining the lives and the future of these children nga ilang giabusar!

It's a mental disorder of course,
who would do such a thing?,
but committing it is really a horrible crime,
no question about that.

Perhaps it's through experience
as what he sees and heared through news
accounts.
