You're right. I have no idea how all these priests came to molest children. I really don't. The constant revelations and admissions, and the covering up by the church, is just -- well, I am speechless. Truly. Thank you for your post.

You're welcome. A large part of the problem is that good honest orthodox Catholic men are routinely screened out of placement in the semenaries as being too "rigid." If one does not have a positive attitude about homosexuality or women priests, one is too rigid.

Needles to say this means only weak men are accepted. Then we have scandals and priest shortages, which naturally leads to a call for women priests. Tidy, isn't it?
