“This is not a unique circumstance. Monks and nuns are not interested in sex either, and for the same reason.”

Two billion dollars and hundreds of years of history says this isn’t so.

"Two billion dollars and hundreds of years of history says this isn’t so."

You couldn't be more wrong. I am not claiming that the Church and children have not been victimized, but that victimization was committed by abhorrent individuals, not the institution of the Catholic Church.

The Church is an institution founded on the principles of faith, forgiveness and redemption. Over the years there have been well over a million priests, some of them truly wolves in sheep's clothing. To demand that the Church reject its founding principles because of the sins of a few would make it nothing more than another fading Protestant denomination.
