It has been said in the past, and the world needs to be reminded of it again, Catholicism is a refuge for scoundrels.

Eh well maybe if Catholics were allowed to marry, things would be different. But no common sense exists in this age.

Only because deviants would be less likely to be attracted to the “calling” IF the church would police itself. Just allowing priests to marry would not eliminate pedophiles…most pedophiles are married and abuse their own family members.

@OldMetalHead no, I mean most pedophiles are married.

@MsKathleen Thanks for sharing that insight about pedophiles and marriage.

As @MsKathleen observes, it is often inevitable.
