The priestly pedophiles are not hetero-sexual. They are homosexuals who are taking advantage of the most readily available prey. A married priesthood would eliminate the temptation for closeted homosexuals to hide out behind a clerical collar.

Hmmm...so you would make marriage a requirement? But the married men who sexually abused their children...would it eliminate them? My point--WE cannot eliminate evil. God can, and we can help.

The priestly pedophiles.

Acutally, as was discussed on a thread yesterday, they are not actually pedophiles. The definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction to children under the age of puberty. The vast majority of the victims were teenage boys to my knowledge. This is a homosexual depravity, not pedophilia. It is reasonable to assume that other the sex partners of these priests were homosexuals above the age of 18 but we are not likely to hear about them.
