I don't know about this, this obviously is a bad thing, but a priest admitting to having sex with women (not girls)... is not going to bring the church down. Priests have been quietly doing such things for eons...

What is bringing the church down is their protection and defense and covering up of the homosexuals, and yes, predatory pedaphiles within their ranks. And yes it is not a select few who are gay, it is a continually growing number. They swap sex for advancement, consideration and other things as well. This is why the pedaphile stuff in my oppinion has been covered up so vehemently, because they don't want the public to see exactly how compromised the entire heirarchy has become. Its gotten to the point in some areas I bet if you don't provide sexual favors, you don't get advanced at all.

Now, yes that last part is my personal speculation, but the fact the priesthood has become a gay subculture in america, is next to undeniable, in particular certain locales.
