CYA.

Also, I would think the comparison of clergy to the overall population would be less relevant that a comparison of clergy and non-celibate Christians (or Catholics). One would expect more depravity among the general population than among clergy.

Ya think?

Honestly, I don't see where they get the idea that priests must be celibate... especially seeing as how PETER HAD A WIFE!

We aren’t allowed to point out all the pervert non-Catholic ministers and believe me there are plenty.
