Priests must be allowed to marry.Although Jesus wasn't married He understands how important the support and companionship of a woman is to a "mortal" man.

And yes,I understand that married men molest too but I'd bet that they're less likely to that men who might be drawn to a celibate priesthood.

So when your wife isn't around, do you get the urge to molest boys?

The idea that somehow men just want to have sex with anything, just because they can't have a woman, puts humans at the level of animals. In fact, most animals don't even behave that way. Its just a silly argument.

Insurers have been assessing the risks since they began offering riders on liability policies in the 1980s. Two of the largest insurers report no higher risks in covering Catholic churches than Protestant denominations --- reports (non-Catholic) researcher Philip Jenkins,in his book Pedophiles and Priests.

I think he references the three companies that insure the majority of Protestant churches in America (Church Mutual, Guide One, and Brotherhood Mutual)

In other words, investigators who have a solid professional interest in analyzing the actual numbers --- insurance companies that cover church abuse liability issues --- say the figures are the same across the board for Catholic and Protestant churches.
