Australian Roman Catholic Church admits child sex abuse.

When is the Vatican going to wake up and allow priests to marry??? If *some* Catholic priests are allowed to be married (Eastern Rite,Anglican converts) all of them should be.Christ wouldn't have wanted His vicars to go without a woman's love and companionship for their *entire* lives even though *He* did.You keep the marriage ban and very soon there'll be *no* priests because perverts feel less and less need today to use the Church as a refuge...disgracefully,perversions like theirs are more and more accepted.

And yes,I know that married men sometimes abuse kids but they *certainly* don't do it *nearly* as often as do men who also have that other perversion.

...because heterosexual men like to abuse little boys???? Try checking the logic of your argument again. Leaving aside the fact that cases of child abuse are just the same per capita outside the church among married people too. The problem is not watering down our doctrine...the problem was NOT sticking to our doctrine and letting in too many homosexuals into the priesthood under lax authority. Thank goodness Pope Benedict is continuing the house cleaning that Blessed John Paul began.

1 Timothy Chapter 4

“1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”
