If celibacy causes abuse ....

Because of the priestly abuse scandals we so often hear that the problem is priestly celibacy. That not having sex causes you to abuse children and teens. That it is unhealthy and unnatural for us not to have sex.

Well if they truly believed this then we need a whole new set of laws.

For example what about socially awkward and extremely shy men? Obviously their unwanted state of celibacy will cause them to abuse children. How about marriages that have grown to be sexless because of one spouse being tired of sex? They too will look for children to abuse by this reasoning. What about people not having sex before marriage and still have not found the person they want to marry?

So what we need are a new form of Temple Prostitutes. Yes government prostitutes and I am not talking about politicians. The government should monitor people’s sex life and determine when a person has been without sex for a specified period to be determined. The celibacy cycle must be monitored to prevent abuse.

Plus who knows when this sets in so maybe the government should force people to get married at a younger age or ensure that government appointed prostitutes make visits for preventive maintenance. By this logic we know that a period of celibacy can cause lifelong problems. We know this because priestly abusers often go on to more and more abuse. So they are no longer celibate yet they have steady sex via their abusive relationships. Those that abuse children often go on to abuse more and more children throughout their lifetime. So the celibacy causes abuse logic would dictate that it is not the psychological sickness of the individual, but the often short period they were actually celibate before abusing children and predominately teenage males. Funny how celibacy causes abuse that targets teenage males. I guess the lack of sex makes men all of sudden choose victims of a certain age and gender since it can’t possibly have anything to do with same sex attraction don’t you know. Just one of those odd quirks that come from being celibate for a period of time.

So you parents that believe celibacy causes abuse out there – make sure your male children either get married early and that they have a continuous sex life or that you buy them prostitutes until the government steps in to help. Plus keep ignoring the fact that most child abuse occurs within families and to a lesser extent public schools. Celibacy is the problem, facts be damned.

The orthodoxy of the Bishops — first

Second — the visitations and recommendations to seminaries

Third — the almost horrendous screening that goes on for entrance into the seminary, two day oral pschye examination, written opus about becoming a priest, interviews by several faculty members and the vocations director at the seminary. It all takes about six months. Can you imagine examinations like that for any other career/vocation in life?

Celibacy is a gift from God that not many have. It is The LORD’s intention that men and women should in general be married. One knows if one should be married if one “burns”. What happens to the Priest who “burns” when he is forbidden to marry?

1Cr 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1Cr 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

1Cr 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1Cr 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

The Priest are only close and intimate with other men. It is well know more men who are in prison with only other men will turn to homosexuality than those out of prison. After they come out many will then return to the use of a woman.

The Priest may often be put together with teenage boys in situations that may be tempting to one who “burns” without the normal outlet for the “burning” of a beloved wife.
Abnormal desires can express themselves more readily when normal desires are unnaturally suppressed. As The Bible says let them that “burn” marry.
