"I do think that people can be pedophiles and decent good people both"

Uhuh.. Do you think it's possible for someone to be a serial rapist and a "decent, good person" both. Or a fraudster that cons elderly people out of their life savings and a "decent, good person" both. Or someone who regularly enjoys torturing small animals for their fun and a "decent, good person both"?

I do think *some* people who are defined as 'peadophiles' (which strictly simply means someone who is sexually attracted to children rather than someone who sexually abuses children) can be decent people, those are the peadophiles who choose NOT to sexually molest children for their personal gratification. Those people exist, in the same way that alcoholics who resist alcohol exist.

"Decent, good people" are the ones that exercise control over their selfish impulses to indulge their human weaknesses at the expense of and to the detriment of innocent others. Ordinary people do that everyday, is it too much to ask that Priests do the same?
