Vigilence, I totally disagree. The overwhelming percentage of priest abusers are homosexual PEDOPHILES. Allowing priests to marry will not get rid of the homosexual pedophilia problem.
It isn’t so THOSE pervs will get married, it’s so young, religious men will not have to make a choice between marriage and the priesthood so that more normally sexed men will want to do it.
It sure would go a long way in preventing the priesthood from becoming a safe haven for homosexuals, and married men are going to be far less tolerant of that kind of deviance than other homosexuals who are covering their own behinds and have a vested interest in the abuse themselves.
So, yes, it would help take care of the problem.
