Yes he did..and sad to say, our beloved Priests are as human an fallible as they come. My family fed and cleaned up after the Priests in our city for over 60 years.
Trust me..most people who sit at the Lord's table and partake of the riches of the sheltered Christian life have absolutely no idea what real darkness and evil exists out there.
The next time you run across a baby that has been so badly sexually abused that their organs have to be removed and see the blank stare on the perps face as the ER staff beat the crap out of him causing them to lose their jobs...then you can then tell me I have an opinion that needs to be revised.
I could go on about the hundreds of young boys that have been abused to the point of never being able to use their rectums properly and crapping themselves for the rest of their lives...oh and was it some homeless man off the street that did it?..no it was their uncle, a priest, a minister or rabbi.
Yes man is a mess..why make it any easier to frustrate him by calling sexual desire a sin and denying it in the less damaging fashion. I'm sorry..it's not just a sin..it's just plain stupid.
And I am sorry you have confused experience for understanding. No amount of righteous indignation at sexual predators will make its heinous practice the result of voluntary celibacy.
