I (a R.C.) am lead to believe by logical inference that there is more than ONE Bishop out there, and perhaps even a Cardinal or two who is guilty of child molesting- and that this explains a lot about the recurrent and massive cover-ups for lower-ranking Priests.

The vow of celibacy has NEVER worked well, and should be modified or abolished. There is no reason that Priests have to be homosexual, or so sexually confused and immature that they resort to molesting children -EVER!

Since it seem that these so called "men of the cloth" are having a hard time of it. It should be a matter of choice. If you prefer to go by the vow of chastity you should be able to and if you want you should have the option of marrying. What gets to me is that these people know before they even go into the church that one of the vows is chastity. I feel that if you can't deal with it GET OUT OF THE CHURCH! I know they are human but noone put a gun to their head and told them they have to stay in the church. there is absolutely no excuse for their actions!
