The better option is to study the Bible, using the original language as your guide, and the intent of the authors for the original audience. It is a book of lessons.You either accept the bible, or reject it outright.
Yeah, it's kind of amazing how part of the world considers those who work at loving actions and avoiding evils acts as "perverts".If you accept it, you're a pervert... period.
Broad brush. You are condemning 96 percent of priests because of the acts of four percent of Catholic priests. Using this criteria, you should be avoiding doctors like the plague and urging condemnation of all because over fifty percent of doctors are accused of malpractice. Further, in the list of child molesters, teachers, neighbors, doctors, grandparents are the top four offenders. This is according to Psychology Today who notes that priests/clergy are an extremely small percent--but are always given the spotlight when one emerges.Priests tend to be perverts
Except....most child molesters are not priests. When it comes to listing professions/groups by order of child molestations, priests are at the bottom of the list. Using your criteria, it seems those who do not have sex are the least likely to molest children.If you can't get laid normally in the Church, you still have to find a way to release, and kids are fair and easy game.
1. you never know who you are recruitingForcing recruits to abstain from sex, is not going to bring normal human beings forward. Many, if not most, will be repressing deviant sexual desires, which eventually will break through. And the unfortunate victims are innocent children.
I'm sorry, but if you don't see that, you're a religious shrill... You're part of the problem... Move to France...
Who needs prostitutes for a BJ, when you can just see a priest?
I think they have to remove the rules that priests cannot have regular sex. It only attracts perverts that are trying to hide their lusts.
Instead, allow people with normal sexual desires to join the priesthood, and have their normal sexual ways, so they don't have to attack innocent children. Repression just leads to aggression.
Recruit the good people, not the perverts.

Yes, and isn't it heartbreaking (from all angles) the ones we are expected to keep a close eye on are family members, family friends, and neighbors.From what i heard most child predators are mostly family members or little league/special olympics coaches,or strangers that a girl met over at a convention or on the internets.
No, no, no... you gave your children to the perverts, and allowed them to be molested. And ignored what's really going on. And if you want to beat someone up, let's start with your church.I don't think priests are child molesters more than other professions. When my kids were young, the general rule was to watch out for single unfamiliar men waiting in cars or talking to a child or group of children near school or bus stops. I went to a Catholic elementary school.
If someone we knew turned out to be a child molester, then that would be shocking and word would get around pretty quick.
If somebody was gay and discovered, then that would be right up there with sex perversion and they would be beaten to a pulp at the high school I went to. That happened more often.
True, but we're talking about the Catholic Church here. They should be better than that!!!EVERYWHERE people hold power, it will be abused. Not just churches
So are you excusing your religion because it just happens everywhere? Or are you supposed to be better than that?Agree. I'll add to this. EVERYWHERE people are, we will find every sin. No community is exempt.
