And what is it with altar-boys...Why does that group exist??? Is that where young boys are groomed and weeded out for their journey into the deeper secrets of the priesthood???
All good questions.
What parent would turn their young sons over to these people? Blindness can be deadly.
Who in the hell to you think "these people" are? I coordinated my parish's altar server program for over 15 years. I recruited, trained, and scheduled servers and worked closely during that period of time with the other parishes of my diocese so when you saw "these people" you are talking about me and that is personal!
I am a 3rd generation altar boy and my sons and nephews were servers. Never in my entire life have I ever heard a first or even second hand account of any molestation.
