I agree with you, but Catholic teaching is unambiguous about suicide. It’s one thing to sin (everyone does). The decision to take your own life is a particularly grave sin to a Catholic religious person. So there’s a disconnect there.

Again, if you think that any human is beyond temptation and sin at any level you will be disappointed.

When one decides one is going to face eternal damnation anyway, killing oneself is no more of a threat than anything else.

Maybe a priest, knowing he is already a pedophile, decides the further sin of suicide is not that big of a deal.
