Oh you're just full of it! There are no more 'perverts' in our church than in any other. You know, you sound so, smug and self-righteous, and it's disgusting! And my 'priest' is just fine, thank you! And all of our pastors, and priests who have come to our parish as visitors, have been fine, capable, men.

To my knowledge, they had no scandal on them, except one. That one was dismissed by our bishop at the time. A very small handfull of them were found to have had problems, and all have been removed from their parishes by our bishops over the years.

And no, marriage will not solve this problem with our priests. Why, because married men are just as capable of messing up, as single men. And when they mess up, they have a wife to answer to also. Women priests? Ha! Women are just as subject to sin as men! Also, our Lord wasn't married, neither was Paul, and Phillip the Deacon was a widower, and his 3 daughters were referred to as 'virgins', so I might guess they stayed that way! Many of the martyrs and Christian heros/heroines were never married either, so your point is?

A lot of us have had to face what's happened in our church, and i'ts a painfull thing! But our church has been around a lot longer than others. Why it goes back to Christ an his Apostles! We've had other scandals, but there were just as many faith-filled people within it; who, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, were able to make needed corrections. And we'll do it again, and be renewed. Would you be able to face something like this happening? I wonder, with your obnoxious attitude!

Shouldn't you take a look and see if your's has any problems with this, and what they're actually doing about it? You better look closely, and make sure they're not covering up for anyone. And then, you come and throw your stones, but not before!

I've heard public media reports that at least a third of priests are gay. Isn't that a little atypical of the total population. Might you have fewer priests hitting on young boys if you had fewer gay perverts in your ranks? I certainly think so.

As far as RCC not having more perverts than other churches, first of all I think you are in denial to make that claim. Additionally, even if it was true, you still would have more cases of abuse because you dont punish the guilty. You just merely ship them off to damage someone else's kids.

Didn't parishoners say wonderful things about Shanley and some of the others convicted. How do you know your priests have been fine, other than to best of your knowledge, they have never been publically punished?
