Right. Then they go and tell us that the problem is that priests need to be able to marry. Now that makes sense. Marry whom? Teenage boys? Problem is people are so stupid/dumbed-down these days they buy this false dichotomy crap and jump on the Catholic-bashing bandwagon. Just the result they were looking for.

To a previous reply, yes, it's wrong that these things were swept under the rug - for whatever the reason may be. This will begin to work itself out now that it's out in the open. This is going to get ugly but it had to happen. My problem is how the lying, opportunist liberal media whores use this kind of thing to promote their own twisted and bigoted agendas - and the masses who no longer know how to think for themselves who buy the lies.

The molesters probably wouldn't marry anyway. Their superiors, though, might tend to do a lot more about this problem if they had personally experienced just how precious children are to their parents.

I'm not sure that a non-parent can really know how a father feels about his children.

The idea is, that if priests can marry, more normal males will be called to the priesthood. It would be victory by displacement of sexual deviants who use the priesthood as a cloak or escape from deviance.
