[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not Catholic and female so Im probably talking out my a$$ but the celibacy requirement is very interesting to me.

There are so many posts on DCUM that men must have sex X times per week/month, that if you’re not having sex by the 3rd date, a woman is just using a man for a free dinner, or that if a woman no longer prioritizes sex in a marriage, that’s grounds for an affair, opening the marriage, or divorce.

So obviuosly sex is important.  Perhaps there is even some sort of innate need for the body to engage in this behavior. Maybe celibacy is just not a reasonable requirement.

And I don’t thing any of this is new.  I believe that there has been homosexual sex and child sex in the priesthood for thousands of years.  The difference is now the general public is no longer willing to look the other way.  Those that have been abused are telling the world and the church can no longer pretend that this does not occur.[/quote]

The relationship forum describes wants not needs and they are not biological needs they are socialized needs. Men are socialized to worry about paying for dinner and not getting laid.

Also homosexuality does not have anything to do with pedophilia any more than left handedness and pedophilia ate related.

Also, if the general public would not tolerate this anymore they would be reporting family members and changing the statute of limitations laws.

I agree that pedophiles realized Boy Scouts and the church and schoosl give them easy access to children and a network of protection. But I don't believe being a priest creates pedophiles.[/quote]
