I know it's been going on for centuries. I'm asking why.

By refusing to allow priests to marry, the Church Naturally Select Out known heterosexuals. Now there are pedophiles and homosexuals who are married to the opposite sex, but by Naturally Selecting Out this group they loose a large Gene Pool population who prefer adults of the opposite sex, in a sense they are choosing a population who says they can DO WITHOUT an Intimate relationship with the opposite sex. IMHO this is a serious contributing factor. My 2 cents.

I was raised strict Roman Catholic, we adhered to all customs, rituals and beliefs. I was an Altar Boy, considered Priesthood seriously enough to interview, attended St. Agnes, St. Gerard and St. Aloysius. I was never mistreated, spoken to inappropriately or sexually approached. The priests I worked with were terrific human beings. I no longer practice this faith.
