I meant to address post #20 to you as well.
You don’t think the structure and culture of the leadership of the Catholic church could be a natural magnet to males who are attracted to a life of avoiding and excluding females and any role involving companionship with their sex, even as fathers or husbands?
Doesn’t common sense reveal that many males who are attracted to males and repulsed by females, yet who have strong religious feelings, that some who are trying to overcome internal conflict, may be drawn to that culture and life long alliance, (and identity) with varying capabilities of adhering to the vows of chastity for life?
...could be a natural magnet...

In part it could be, but that does not diminish my response as to WHO is behind all of it. Also, look at the numbers of pedophiles attracted to non-Catholic denominations or to the public school environment. The problem of impure sex can be found everywhere...particularly in the current culture. It feeds the notion that people cannot really exercise self-control. That’s why faithful Catholics take vows sincerely and request the virtue of chastity, whether married or single.
I DO think the Church was infiltrated but exactly because it is a prime focus of Satan’s hatred. He also hates families.
The evidence of that hatred is all around us.
As for individual motives...they can be as varied as those individuals...but Satan and his minions encourage their decisions.
Satan has been quite deft in his ability to convince our current culture that SIN is a primitive concept or he merely distracts us from thinking about it by offering other entertainments.
There is only one denomination famous for homosexual sex, and that was what I was writing about in post 22, Catholic leadership doesn’t have an unusually high incidence of falling for the female organist, or falling in love with a female parishioner, they are known for male on male relationships.
If true, it must mean that Satan REALLY hates the Catholic Church more than any other Christian group.
You should read posts 22 and 24.
Satan hates all Christian churches, but the men of the Catholic denomination have created a unique culture that is always going to have issues with it’s sexual problems, being mostly male on male lust.
...but the men of the Catholic denomination have created a unique culture that is always going to have issues with it’s (sic) sexual problems,...

Satan’s minions are thrilled with their work.
It isn’t honest to distort truth, this is what I actually posted, “” but the men of the Catholic denomination have created a unique culture that is always going to have issues with it’s sexual problems, being mostly male on male lust.””
You tried to turn it into something totally different, all walks of life will have trouble with sex issues, but only the Catholic denomination’s leadership is identified not with lusting for women as a problem, but mostly with lusting for males.
Key word for why I posted what I did: famous
I did not intend to nor did I distort anything.
What facts most interested you via the link that I gave?
The Catholic leadership is famous for homosexual scandals.
When people hear about a church sex scandal, they think of a man and a woman, unless the word Priest or Catholic is used, then they think of male on male sex.
I’m sure the fact that most priests are not married couldn’t be a factor in that./sarc
Again, which fact most interested you from those in the article I linked for you?
Post 22 explains it, as far as other articles, if I want to comment on an article somewhere else, I will.
Remember my original post correcting you.

When you say ‘infiltrate’ instead of ‘attracted to’, think of what you are trying to sell as a conspiracy.
It just isn’t rational to think that there was a conspiracy of many young men to devote their entire lives to the Priesthood of the Catholic church, just on the off chance, that at some time before they die of old age, someone will discover them individually involved in homosexual practices at sometime, somewhere.
