So do you have children?

How is whether or not I have children germane to a conversation about protestant ministers time and time again molesting children in their care? Catholics don't leave their children with such men, therefore, your logic doesn't follow.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I have children and I'd never leave them with an errant minister (or office worker or volunteer, the ranks from which RCs draw their comparisons with errant priests.)

The question then is why would any parent entrust the lives and safety of their children to any priest, a man who abstains from a normal, functional life to live sequestered with other men, many of whom are pedophiles?

So the question of whether or not one has children is germane because the answer is either from a hands-on, personal experience perspective or just a hypothetical musing.

And with kids, very little is hypothetical.
