The church doesn’t let it’s leaders marry and have sec within the confines of marriage and then the parishioners are shocked that they have homosexuals and pedophiles serving up God’s Word. Amazing!

People who can’t marry go right to gay pedophilia and homosexuality?

If anything, they have given closeted gays a vocation that gives them cover, a plentiul pool of potential partners.. and both young and older males to choose from- and this Yogi liked the picnik baskets at the park more I guess... Hello Mr. Ranger, Sir!

Get off your anti-Catholic hobbyhorse.

The statistics do not bear out your bigotry. The rate of sexual abuse among Protestant ministers is higher than among Catholic priests. Among government school teachers, it is much higher still.

You're joking with this, right? This is exactly the kind of idiot logic I see left-wingers use. Let's start with this: you're aware that being a priest doesn't mean you're isolated from the rest of the world, right? So, if a priest were so overcome by his lack of marriage that he had to go out and seek sex, there are plenty of women who would be happy to oblige. Why, then, would you equate lack of marriage with homosexuality or pedophilia? This priest could have gone out and picked up on chicks like any other guy, or even paid a (female) prostitute, but he chose to cruise for guys. Why? BECAUSE HE'S A HOMO AND THE ABILITY TO GET MARRIED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Only a fool would think otherwise.
