Either the Pope rids the clergy of homosexuals and makes celibacy optional or the vile molestations of boys will continue and people will be alienated from the Church. To be politically correct and “tolerant” is to be delusional. Homosexuals are simply sick and dangerous to young boys.
Celibacy has nothing to do with the molestation of boys.
Protestant ministers and rabbis molest boys with equal or greater frequency as Catholic priests.
You have confused cause and effect. Celibacy does not cause the molestation of boys. On the contrary, the sexual abuse of children has grown since our social and legal authorities started pretending that sex in all directionsboth normal and pervertedwere uncontrollable, "normal," and no big deal.
Celibacy, like chastity, demonstrates that we can control our natural impulses. The Church is hated for pointing this out and living by it. That is probably why offenses by Catholic priests in all matters sexual, which are statistically less common than those by public school teachers, coaches, Protestant clergy, rabbis, camp counselors, psychologists, or any other comparable group, are considered more scandalous.
I agree that sexual misdeeds by priests are more scandalous than those by others, because the priest represents much greater moral authority. And I agree that cadres of same-sex deviants should be purged from the priesthoodand from other institutions. But it would be absurd to suggest that the very teaching that opposes the abuse of sex should be purged at the same time.
