    Its not that catholics are more prone to sexual abuse of children than anyone else…and its not even the celibacy requirement…its the system of the church that PRE SELECTS those who WOULD BE PERVERTS to go and become priests. sure its a small minority of the priests that engage in it…

    im not buying that priests, because of a celibacy requirement, go and start getting turned on by little boys….how could they be so ready to ensure they do not violate catholic cannon by not having sex with a woman, and they go right on and violate the human cannon of not abusing kids? certainly these guys could cheat and have women on the side if they wanted to…fact is..they dont…those that engage in the sex abuse do so because they ALREADY were predisposed to be abusers and saw the priesthood as an excellent means to both

    1. sublimate their behavior

    2. have access to a bunch of captive kids.
