re: Apparently celibacy for priests is NBD

I am catholic and have been my entire life. We used to attend church every Sunday at least and I haven't been in 6 or seven years now. The attempted cover up on this sex scandal was too much for me.
If they would just let them get married 99.9% of this would go away. I really don't understand why this continues.

Yup. They're really cutting down on their pool of potential priests when part of it is vowing to never have sex. There's a reason so many priests seem a little off

Because the Catholic Church does not want to have to support wives and a family in a addition to the priests. It all about the mighty green. Then what happens in a divorce or death? How do they split the assets?

Or just be a decent human being, and don’t diddle kids.

That is outright wrong. The Protestant churches (which allow married clergy) Have higher incidents of sexual abuse, school teachers (which allow marriage) have as high a rate of abuse. Both of those groups show that fact by insurance claim payments to victims.
This isn’t solely a Catholic thing not because priests can’t marry.

If the scandal is too much for you to bear, go to another church.
God didn't fool around with the 17-year-old, a man wearing a costume did...

They won't, doctrine is clear. Lots of other churches will allow their pastors to marry.
FWIW, I am Catholic and attend Mass every Sunday

"Theologically, priests serve in the place of Christ and therefore, their ministry specially configures them to Christ. As is clear from Scripture, Christ was not married (except in a mystical sense, to the Church). By remaining celibate and devoting themselves to the service of the Church, priests more closely model, configure themselves to, and consecrate themselves to Christ."
They will never let them get married. You can blame Vatican II for a lot of the degrading of the Church. They used to vet the seminarians very well and kick the gays and perverts out. Today, not so much. We are fighting to fix the church though. The Church Militant on you tube goes after the sick priests hard. It is amazing to watch! Church Militant YouTube Page
