Yes. For a while I thought I was the only one who did. This is especially brought out, I must note, with the idea of confessing your sins to another person. You find yourself saying the same things, even though you do try to avoid it.
As hard as it is to admit and understand in human terms, I believe that a priest who commits these crimes over and over, could also be truly repentent, only God would know.
I think a huge part of the difficulty here is that ipev is imagining a monster who every day sets out to commit some monstrous crime. I, instead, picture a man who may go through bouts of sin followed by bouts of regret. I like to think that, no matter how evil some men may have acted, and for how long, they would have had sincere moments of regret and repentence.

But I do think there are monsters out there who do these thngs and are unrepentent. I think there may also be some who do them but hate themselves for doing it and are sorry. But as for us, as I said we are justified in being sceptical of anyone who has done a crime such as this, but seem to be repentent. They deserve to be prosecuted to the max, and for the rest of their lives will have to live with the consequences of people treating them like they have the plague, even if they never do it again, and especially if they are repeat offenders. I do not think we are being "judgemental" in being ths way. BUT their eternal judgment is in God's hands.
