Reply to comment by EfficiencySuch6361 in Baltimore judge seals case as attorneys fight over release of Catholic church sex abuse report by NarutoIvy
I'm not even sure being married would stop this. My concern is the issue could be just as much "the priesthood attracts pedophiles," as "being a priest makes you into a pedophile."
Plus, not having marriage and kids doesn't explain why other Christian denominations also have pedophilia and sex abuse problems (see: Southern Baptist Church).

Great points. And I don’t think it’s the ultimate solution but I look at it like… how many men in prison have male-on-male sexual contact which they would never be doing otherwise except for due to the complete lack of any other alternative for sexual contact? Trying to continue doing the exact same thing certainly doesn’t seem like a solution, too… I would take a reduction over the status quo especially since there’s likely no way to completely eradicate this behavior 100%

True, maybe it would improve things somewhat. Too bad bitches can't just keep their hands to themselves. They have literally destroyed people with this behavior, and have been badly enabled by the church's inability to stop passing the priests around to fuck up other people's kids. Those testimonies in The Keepers were horrific. Then to be disbelieved by basically everyone for decades? Forever damage to the psyche.

A friend of mine was molested by a local catholic priest in the 70s and he’s still obviously traumatized today 😞
