UPDATE 8/22/11: Report following pro-pedophilia conference
-- From "Conference aims to normalize pedophilia" by John Rossomando, The Daily Caller 8/15/11
The August 17 Baltimore conference is sponsored by B4U-ACT, a group of pro-pedophile mental health professionals and sympathetic activists. According to the conference brochure, the event will examine “ways in which minor-attracted persons [pedophiles] can be involved in the DSM 5 revision process” and how the popular perceptions of pedophiles can be reframed to encourage tolerance.
Researchers from Harvard University, the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Louisville, and the University of Illinois will be among the panelists at the conference.
Child advocate Dr. Judith Reisman, a visiting professor at Liberty University’s School of Law, said the conference is part of a strategy to condition people into accepting pedophiles.
“The first thing they do is to get the public to divest from thinking of what the offender does criminally, to thinking of the offender’s emotional state, to think of him as thinking of his emotional state, [and] to empathize and sympathize,” Reisman said. “You don’t change the nation in one fell swoop; you have to change it by conditioning. The aim is to get them [pedophiles] out of prison.”

Former consultant to US Catholic bishops keynotes conference pushing for acceptance of pedophilia
August 18, 2011
A former consultant to the US bishops was the keynote speaker at a conference organized by a group that is lobbying for decriminalization of pedophilia.
Dr. Fred Berlin of Johns Hopkins University spoke to a meeting organized by a group called B4U-ACT. The conference was designed to explore ways in which "minor-attracted persons" could lobby for broader acceptance of their activities.
B4U-ACT is pressing for the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to drop pedophilia from its list of recognized disorders--just as the APA dropped homosexuality from the list of mental disorders a generation ago.
Fred Berlin was for years a consultant to the US bishops in their attempts to develop policies for handling complaints of sexual abuse by Catholic priests. Archbishop Rembert Weakland has testified that in 1985, Berlin strongly argued against removing abusive priests from public ministry.
