Yes, the clergy involved also acted wrongly.

They could start by not ordaining ****. However, if they did they would hardly have any candidates.

That's not true. Why would you say that?
The Catholic Seminaries screen candidates and those candidates who admit a same-sex sexual attraction trait are not allowed into training to become Clergy.

I certainly agree with that. He did ignore not only "protocol" but the written and express Orders from his "chain of command".

Maybe going forward, but if you allowed the present priests to marry? Half of them would want to marry men.

It's something they just get sucked into when they, themselves, are very young.

There’s policy and there’s reality. Quality of seminaries can also vary greatly. I studied for a time for the religious life. There are many gay priests no matter what you quote. I’d put it at a much higher rate than the general population. Probably 30-40% homosexual is a good estimate. The Vatican itself is known to have a “gay lobby” according to Pope Francis. The people investigating them under Pope Benedict refer to them as a “lavender mafia”.

Who is going to admit they like to bone young boys? They need to get a whole new talent pool and only admit married men.

Name a Christian denomination that has never been involved with a sex scandal? The fly by night megachurches even have them and most of them couldn’t even vote yet.

It's not a "not allowed to marry" problem.
God made reproduction system and process. Testosterone is fight or frick chemical as part of said system and process.
Will never understand how denying God’s system and process is honoring God (marrying the church or whatever is the belief). It is ironic at very least and potentially destructive at every level at very worst.
Reproductive biology is not an opt in / out prerogative. Choosing to ‘ignore’ it is unnatural and dishonors God’s design.
Priest ruined lives. Cases in point over and one and over…

I can’t, but the Catholic Church has a culture of hiding pedophilia. It’s pretty well documented at this point. It’s literally inarguable. It’s horrendous and disgusting.

This guy is gay. Marrying a woman won’t help. Right or wrong. The idea of priests marrying is deeper than sex. Priests are charged with the ideals that the church/god/Jesus are their most important mission. A family will rightfully shift their mission. Permanent deacons have helped bridge this issue but the core tenets of putting the church first is clouded by marriage
I mean, Peter himself was married. He started the church.

I've gone through the diocese Ethics/Behavior training and background checks, but 99% of the congregation has not. The grown man who was the target of the priest reported everything he knew to church authorities. The church should have handled it from there, and they failed miserably. When he realized they failed, he went directly to the police. Stop blaming him.
Posted on 5/10/26 at 8:53 am to dragginass
You are right.
The grown man who witnessed a sex pervert admit to molesting children did not immediately report the crime to the police. He instead told the pervert's boss about it.
The grown man is completely blameless in this scenario.
Thank you for setting me straight on this conversation about how we adults should respond to a situation in which we witness a crime - find the criminal's boss and report the crime to that person.

You are being obtuse. It's not a crime to say something, it's a crime to do something. He witnessed no crime involving a minor. He reported everything to church authorities, who have outlined procedures that werent followed. He, being responsible, notified police when he realized church authorities were improperly handling it. Again, stop blaming him for the failure of church leadership. HE CALLED THE POLICE. I don't know why you are so dead set on assigning him blame. This lies squarely on diocesan leadership.

I think it’s more that queer guys go into the church to try to pray away the gay. The 3 guys I went to HS with, who later came out of the closet were all super religious. 2 baptists, one catholic. They all tried the ministry but it didn’t work out. None of them are pedos, they just sought God’s help to not be gay, but it doesn’t work.
Posted on 5/10/26 at 9:38 am to Champagne
Dude you’re victim shaming the “grown man” that the priest tried make a move on, even though he did report what happened. And you’re doing that to deflect blame from the bishop that tried to sweep this under the rug until his hand was forced by the local police
