[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Celibate clergy” = sex perv haven
I met so many strange men studying for the priesthood at CUA. SMH[/quote]

No one says that about [b]Buddhist monks[/b] and nuns. [/quote]

Are Buddhist monks interacting with children in parish-type communities?  [/quote]

No, because they don’t have parishes, but thousands of children live in Buddhist monasteries either as novices or as orphans. [/quote]

Do you know of any abuse scandals amongst the Buddhist monk community?  I am sincere in my question.

[/quote]

No and that’s my point. Stop blaming celibacy. Celibacy = perv has replaced “closeted gay” as the latest attempt to claim no normal man would enter the priesthood.[/quote]

I suppose there are some normal men who enter the priesthood -- and some who stay normal, despite the various types of perversity around them.  This is not a good enough reason to preserve  celibacy or the institution that  requires it.[/quote]

I agree that being celibate does not automatically make someone a perv, but the Catholic church seems to have a higher number of sexual abusers than society at large. Why is this? Also, as an institution the Catholic has not dealt with it in a transparent way.

I think child molestation happens in all religions, but Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination so it gets the most attention. [/quote]
