I’ll believe the Church has changed when they require that only married men can serve as parish priests. Until then, we have to assume that it’s more of the same old same old - the largely gay clergy mollifying the laity as much as they have to (and no more than that) so they can continue enjoying their committment-free gay sex lives. Just speaking from experience here.

Who's "we", Kemosabe?

You go ahead and believe or assume what you like, regardless of the facts. You go ahead and render judgment on the basis of falsehoods, half-truths and distortions if that's what floats your boat.

You'll have to answer to God for that.

But do NOT presume to speak for anyone other than yourself.

YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME.

Celibacy is not the cause of child molestation. For your information, please read the rest of my post (including the links!!

The most probable pedophiles in order are:

Fathers
Teachers
Coaches
Protestant ministers

Priests are way down on the list.

So if a father is a teacher of mid-high history, coaches the girl’s basketball team and is a youth minister at his church on weekends/Sundays — watch out! He would be much more prone to pedophilia that any priest.

It certainly will have changed to non Christian.

Just speaking from experience here.

You must have some experience.
