The question then is why would any parent entrust the lives and safety of their children to any priest, a man who abstains from a normal, functional life to live sequestered with other men, many of whom are pedophiles?

Well, why you would entrust your children to protestant churches when they have staggering rates of child molestation per their own insurance companies? Or did you just ignore this when I posted it before?

Do you even read the links you post?

While thousands of accusations against pedophile priests have been lodged, the article says that "Protestant churches in America say they typically receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members.

Did you catch that? The accusations made against Protestants included "church staff, volunteers and members of the congregation."

Unlike in the Roman Catholic church, where the horrendous statistics speak against the sins of the priestcraft alone. The guys who think of themselves as "another Christ."
