(And not too hard to guess what it's analogous to)
Someone who is putatively a great moral authority for the ages issues the following statement: "I have an important command for all pedophiles among you, so listen carefully. Pedophiles, remember to always be kind and considerate to all the children you have sex with."
What, if any, effect should such a pronouncement have on his status as a great moral authority? Are you using the current definition of a pedophile where laws in most countries view paedophilia as one of the worst of crimes? Or do you expect us to visit the moral world of 1,500 years ago where popes, kings and everybody else followed different rules and would not have understood the current definition? Or perhaps we could go just a year back, where the current guardians of moral authority in our own culture, Catholic priests, Jewish school Principals and Rabbis practice what some of us call child sexual abuse if we don't follow their moral authority.
