The church has revealed that there have been 13,000 credible accusations against Catholic clerics since 1950. ............... Our next door neighbor was compensated for her child, the child of one of the priests. It never made the news in the 50’s. I was groped by a young priest when I was about 11, and I wasn’t alone, same parish. (As kids during those days you didn’t report those things because you were afraid.) Another good looking priest who had the women parishioners swooning, donned black leather and a motorcycle and spent his evenings in the Village(NYC) and he wasn’t saving souls. Priests are human and have the same amount of hormones as anyone else. This whole thing about unmarried priests is going against human nature and nature in general. I believe it all started because they didn’t want to make priesthood a family business where father passed it on to his son(s) and thus creating a special class? I’m sure there are many married Catholic men who would make great Priests as many married men make great Rabbis, Ministers and Mullahs. I would think a family man as a priest would have a better outlook on life as he is responsible for the health, welfare, support and education of his family from when they are born until they die.
It sure goes against the oversexualized world of the 21st century.
As it should.

I'm sure you believe a lot of things. I wonder if any of them are true.
