[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the explanation of the differences between Buddhist monks and Catholic parish priests, but it seems to focus on access to children. Is the concern over celibacy based on the idea that celibacy will make a healthy person into a pedophile? That makes zero sense! [b]Celibacy doesn’t make someone a child abuser[/b]. [/quote] Of course, not. But celibacy amongst the Catholic clergy creates a culture of secrecy where child abusers can thrive. One priest may be abusing children, another priest is having an affair with a woman (or a man) and they each look the other way because they don't want to be exposed. [/quote] But that assumes that the other priest thinks child molestation is no worse than two adults in consensual adultery. I seriously doubt that any non-pedophile feels the two are of the same weight. [/quote]
