As to celebacy, it is very accurate that this alone did not make child sex abusers. However, I suggest that limiting full representation of all sectors of the population into the most important part of the church, including the RC hierarchy, played a big part in creating the climate where child sex abusers got into the church and did their criminal acts throughout many years.If many people alike Joe O had felt at home and became priests...and could have began to influence the RC hierarchy and it s thinking....I suspect this church would not be in the same situation where it is today. A seed can fall on a rock and not germinate. But, if the right conditions eist, the seed, good or bad trives, grows and spreads.
