“by restricting priesthood to unmarried men, they pretty much guaranteed a good number of them would be gay”
I don’t see that. They could fiddle around with girls and women, couldn’t they?
I thought thats what the nuns were for ?.....LOL
Yes, they could, but what better place than a Church or Monastery with other homosexual males? No one asks why they aren’t married at the age of 40, and if their “bent” is pedophilia, they have access to children. I imagine the pedophiles there feel like they inhabit a candy store.
