Thank you, friend, for your kind words.

I fear that you have not yet comprehended fully the depth of the rot, and the radical measures required to right the situation. We need to remove homosexuals from the clergy altogether. The only way we can hope to achieve that is to require that parish priests be "the husband of one wife."

IMHO.

You are more than welcome my FRiend. I am just failing to make the connection between married priests and sexual abuse. 8 to 1 married men commit more sexual abuse than celibate priests. I think the FLDS has more married men molesting children as do muslims (both marry children as young as 12, and at least from reports from former members the FLDS men regularly abuse their own children). I fail to see the connection in the same way you do. All areas of the population suffer from this horrible issue and you are correct to say we must root it out. Married priests will not do it, it will just shift the demographic, as evidenced in the many married clergy and other married folks who abuse children.
