Topic: sexual abuse of children by priests | |
---|---|
Bestinshow,
I agree with you that men have used the Priesthood throughout the centuries for their own personal agendas. And, I agree with you that there are currently a large percentage of homosexual priests. And, a good percentage of them are pedophiles. But, they were like that BEFORE they became priests. So, what does celibacy have to do with it? They were pedophiles before they became priests. Marrying a woman is not going to satisfy their sexual desires. It doesn't stop a pedophile from being a pedophile. As far as there being no man who would give up sex for his life to serve God, I'm wondering what you think your Jesuit priest friend did? Did he have a girlfriend? Boyfriend? Are you absolutely sure that there have never been men willing to give up sex for the love of God? Granted they are fewer in number, but I assure they exist. That's why the Priesthood is a calling and not fo everyone. Just because there are men who abuse the privelege does not mean real priests don't exist. |

Again the biggest pedophile sex scandals involve catholick priests its multi national and not just an american phenomena. It is the only religion that denies a man sexuality so your getting a great deal of defects to start with. Statistically speaking, a child is 10x as likely to be molested by a teacher as they are by a priest. Teachers are allowed to get married, so does getting married turn a man into a child molester? Exactly. Pedophiles are not created nor fixed by a certain amount of sex or the lack thereof. |
