No, but a huge amount of the sexual perversions of sick, protected-from-law priests involved altar boys. Personally, I don't want my son becoming one and if he chooses to be one, I will watch over him and the priest like a hawk.

In that case, you should be watching him like a hawk in the first place. Priests are actually less likely to be pedophiles than the male population in general. And, of course, the vast majority of priests are the best moral role models a young boy could possibly have.

right now, he's 9-mths old and is close to walking. Due to his crawling all over the place chasing his twin sister, I definitely am watching him like a hawk! You're probably right about the 'population at large' statistics. It just sickens me that a child would ever be abused by someone that he should inherently trust 100% to be a moral, upright human being, and who is not to be confused with some queerbait in a park or something. I mean, a priest should be the LAST person to commit homosexual perversion! As a new father, my reaction to crimes like these against children has certainly gotten even less tolerant than it was...and I've always been Draconian in my views on child crime & punishment. Thanks for your rational replies.
