Factually wrong assumptions to make.

Start with the fact that less than 5% of the Catholic Priesthood was ever involved in the sex abuse scandals.

Then, understand that almost all of the victims were MALES.

Then, understand that almost all of the victims were past the age of puberty.

It was all very wrong, and criminal. However, it was NOT the clinical definition of “pedophilia” since almost all of the victims were post-pubescent males.

Instead, this is mostly a problem of homosexual predators entering the Priesthood.

Not all homosexuals are predators, in fact, few are. Less than 5% of Priests are predators. Almost all of the offenders in these cases were homosexual predators. How does allowing Priests to get married solve that problem?

Of course, it doesn't.

Impossible to know that...That 5% are the known molesters and rapists...How many have and are still getting away with it by having their tracks covered by former priests who are now bishops and cardinals, and maybe popes???

It opens up the priesthood to a larger body of men (adds married men).

Then the church can be more selective in whom they allow into the priesthood.
