It seems to me that requiring preiests to be married almost ensures you filter out the perverts. The Roman Catholic priesthood as it currently stands is the perfect place for any child molester to hide without raising the suspicions of the community.

What is the rationale for forbidding priests to marry anyway?

Oh, that's right, I forgot. Marriage is the perfect cure for sexual perversion. Perverts are never married, right?

Jesus Christ.

Are you saying that there aren't any pedophiles who are married?

No it wouldn't. Pedophiles often get married and have families just like everybody else. They look like nice, normal guys thats how they get easy access to the kids.
