Protestant clergy, teachers, scout leaders, etc, etc far outnumber Catholic clergy in the number of offenses Well, it is ok then.

no body said that it was O.K., I merely pointed out that it is a homosexual problem, not one related to celibacy. I know that the bible does not command that its' priests and ministers to remain celibate but the Catholic church does......don't want to be a priest.....fine, want to be one (other than a transfer from, for example the Episcopal church), don't get married. All institutions have rules....all of them, all institutions have responsibilities, and the Catholic church (2,000) years old decided on some rules and regulations on their own. While the church could change its stance on celibacy, it cannot change its stance on ordination of females.....NEVER HAPPEN!!!

If what you posted is what you believe, that’s great. Why bring up the comparison to other who likewise sin in defense of priest’s that get caught? Homos the problem in most cases yes, not all. The real issue is why shuffle the offenders, prosecute them.
