As regrettable as this is, this priest is not part of the problem.

Yes, he is. He's in a position of authority and has taken a vow of celibacy. He's not only broken this vow and abused his authority, he's also made himself liable to blackmail by carrying on these affairs. And as we well know, those within the Church bent on destroying it from the inside are not above using blackmail to get what they want.

There are other sins committed by priests as well. Any attempt to combat this by purging imperfections is fruitless. The problem here is statutory rape.
