You two seem to have missed one small detail: the perverted freak in this particular instance is married with two kids. Catholics allowing married men to become priests in the Roman Rite will sure solve that problem, won't it? (Note: married men are allowed to become priests in the Byzantine Rite.) I really feel sorry for his wife, to find out that he's been sticking "it" in the sewer (so to speak), then coming home and ... EEEEWWWW! YUK!

And you seemed to miss the point of my post..Sin is sin..it is found everywhere...but the reason that the RC church is drowning under a wave of Child abuse charges is because they get more than an occassional abuser..the system is set up to attract them

You're right, for the wrong reason. It's not the celibacy that's a problem; it's the feminazis, queers, and modernists in some of the diocesan vocations offices. I've read credible reports of them actively weeding out the 'good guys', in favour of incipient perverts. The Wanderer, an orthodox Catholic newspaper, has frequently reported on this topic. I've also seen credible reports referenced on FR that the pervert problem is as bad in Protestant circles as in Catholic. We're a much bigger target, however. Finally, you fail defend the notion that a married ordained ministry would necessarily be relatively pervert-free, nor do you address the fact that this incident suggests the opposite.

Is married priesthood one of the issues that prompted you to leave the Church?
