Here's a hint:

1 Corinthians 11

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

"I think I have it. You ordain a bunch of homos."

That conclusion has no authority until you spend $335K to come up with it. And then it will be buried.

They're paying John Jay Criminal College $1,000,000 in three installments to tell them that they ordained homosexual priests?

That should not be too hard. Hint: he has horns and a long tail and likes it hot.

But the truth is they were never CELIBRAT. CELIBACY didn't make these men want to pray on little boys.

Here's another:

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

So, if I'm celibate, I'm at risk of groping young boys?

For an exhaustive answer to that question, please read the book "Goodbye to Good Men". I believe the authors last name is Rose. Read it awhile ago and passed it on to my Catholic family members.

Guilty, repressed, catholics with psychological, sexual damage who don't want to act out their psychosis (homosexuality). They become priests and don't find a traditional psychiatrist who can help them with this PSYCHOLOGICAL problem, they remain homosexual.

Should not be hard (no pun intended) to find the "root". It's attached to a Priests mid section.

Bear in mind that the abuse is almost exclusively statutory rape of gay teenagers by gay priests. Priests don't have a lot of contact with young boys.

Yeah, too true. And the worst of it is that Catholic's everywhere outside the seminaries and the left-wing of the Church (those advancing women priests, married priests and homosexual marriage in the Church) realize this and get little traction within the Church. Young Catholic men report that some seminaries are so filled with homosexuals that they "weed" out conservative straight men from the priesthood. The end result (no pun) is that fewer priests come into the Church in America then elsewhere and those that are at least tolerate homosexuality.

"The cause...in a word....CELIBACY!"

Teachers are preying on their students because teachers are required to be celibate.

Politicians are preying on their pages because politicians are required to be celibate.

Bosses are preying on their secretaries because bosses are required to be celibate.

etc...
