re: #141 Obdicut

There has been a lot of speculation whether the odd lifestyle of the priesthood adds to the incidence of this predatory behavior. That’s a big part of the puzzle here. Do men with problematic psychology, or hangups about sex, or other issues - find a “sanctuary” in a generally respectable life as a celibate priest? Maybe. Does this mean the priesthood has more pedophiles/pederasts than in the male population generally? or at other schools? That’s important. Newsweek addressed that with data, which I found interesting. It’s not the whole deal, but it’s a big piece.
