[Dr. Eckleburg]

When it comes to people who want to have sex with children celibacy isn't an issue at all. They just want to do it and are attracted to activities where an adult can be placed in charge of children.

Right. Like the RCC priesthood.

If the RCC priesthood attracted men of substance, men of honor, men whose minds and hearts had been renewed by the Holy Spirit, the RCC wouldn't be in the tawdry position it has put itself into.

I have a friend who is a raging vegetarian. I asked her once why she didn't eat eggs, and her response was "I don't like eggs."

Apparently it's easy to give up what we don't really desire.

And so it is with men who are drawn to the RCC priesthood. They "give up" wives and children because they don't really want them.

They want something else. They want to be called "another Christ" (in both their personal as well as private lives, as Father Kenneth Baker told us) and to wear long skirts and have people kneel to them and kiss their rings.

Rome has been content with that situation for centuries. If it weren't for all this pesky publicity, nothing would change.

Hardly ~ your typical pedophile could as easily be married, with chilluns, or be a club hopping homosexual ~ a regular gay blade. What he or she likes is sex with kiddies.

ALL organizations that put adults in contact with children serve their interests, and I am certain you understand that better than anyone else on this thread.
