They should take Origenus as THE example to emulate. To better fight the temptation of the flesh, this early Church father castrated himself. As fas as it is known, no abuse complaints were lodged againt him afterwards.

 To better fight the temptation of the flesh, this early Church father castrated himself.
 
Matthew 5
 29.  If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.   It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
 30.  And if your right hand causes you to sin,  cut it off and throw it away.   It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
