re: 57 clergy credibly accused of sexually abusing minors in NO area

Yeah because when my wife passed away the first thing I did was find a teenaged boy to meet my needs.

So its time we less these baws get married

The majority of sexual assaults are committed by married and divorced adults. Only about a third are committed by adults that have never married.

If you’re trying to address the fetish of pedophilia, I doubt enabling more marriage in the clergy would move the needle. People with that fetish are drawn to jobs that give them access to children. This unfortunately includes every youth oriented organization and organizations that carve out unique roles for children within their organization.

If you start allowing married and divorced adults to be priests, you’re just going to invite more married and divorced pedophiles in who were previously filtered out.

I honestly have not seen any data which suggests the Catholic Church has higher rates of sex abuse than any other religion. But if someone has this kind of data to share, I’d like to see it.
