Never heard such a pile of shite in my life!.....Of course it had to do with sexual preference......Teenage boys and adult males, a homosexual's wet dream.

You people should foget you're political dogma if you really want to protect our children.

I said heterosexuals should be ENCOURAGED into the priesthood, by abandoning the Celibacy Rule, to allow priests to lead a normal sexually fulfilled life in a family setting.
That would strengthen, not weaken the Church.
That does not mean that homosexuals should be banned from the priesthood, but at the moment all heteros who want a normal sex life, are virtually banned.
I dont want the criminals to evade prosecution, quite the reverse, blaming the Church for the abuse does excuse the crime. The church was guilty of cover up, in an attempt to protect itself from litigation brought on by MEN abusing mainly TEENAGE BOYS....These tactics were disgraceful and inexcusable but the fact remains, that the abuse was personal to every man who committed it.

You want to stop most of it? Change the rule that causes most of it.
"Celibacy" is simply a convenient place for these people to hide.
