In catholic society, it used to be that one either gets married or they join the clergy. So alot of homosexuals would hide by joining the clergy, thus the abuse as being clergy puts them in authority over vulnerable people.
Have you wondered about Jesus Christ also?
YOUR COMMENT: “Not denigrating all priests but I have always wondered what kind of man gives up women!!! I know one kind...again not accusing all priests of anything!!”
One that follows Christ and lives a chaste life to save souls. What greater gift can a man do to give his life for another so that they may have eternal life with God..
Jesus said “Whoever finds his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
