Yeah, because homosexuals and pedophiles are naturally drawn to celibacy....
LOL
The outward expected behavior of Catholic priests provides a very good cover for someone who would like to conceal homosexuality and the position provides access to susceptible victims, over whom the priest has authority and deep knowledge of that victim's inner struggles. It is these aspects that attract the perverts; not the celibacy, but the presumption of celibacy that priests have.
N.B. I believe the vast majority of Catholic priests are not of this kind. I also believe that their kind are overrepresented in the Catholic priesthood vs the overall population, mainly because of tolerance and abetting of the behavior by superiors. Cardinal Mahoney et. al. should be in prison for criminal conspiracy and accessory after the fact.
Too much!
When the pool of candidates is so small, the void is filled with men with abnormal sexual habits.
Perhaps, if priest were allowed to have a wife or girlfriend they wouldn't have such a 'problem'.
