This is much bigger than Pedophilia and much more pernicious.
The following is from "Sex, Priests and power" by A.W. Richard Sipe,page 132
"A 1980 study of 50 gay Priests by a Roman Catholic priest was startling, and it remains so (Wagner, 1980). Only 4% of that group were sexually abstinent; the other 90% had abandoned the celebate process.The priests in the study ranged in age from 27 to 58.
They averaged 226.8 sexual partners each."Of some note is the fact that nine respondents (18 percent) in this sample had no more than ten partners total, while (22 percent)reported five hundred or more.
The frightening part of this mess is that some bishops are still talking about rehabilitation of perverted priests and keeping them in the ministry."
The only answer I can think of is they must be out of their minds. Or they are all fags and subject to Blackmail.
It is Church Bashing by Homosexual Priests and the Bishops won't say it's a Homosexual problem since they would have to admit that maybe 50% of the current priesthood is comprised of Homosexuals. Plus a number of the Hierarchy.
So much for Celebacy.
