re: #89 HappyWarrior

I think the RCC needs to modernize honestly. It’s going to sound weird for me praising the Boy Scouts since I vehemently disagree with their policies on gays and atheists as members but when I had to help register my Dad when he became an assistant den leader, they had tests to make sure adults that would supervise the kids knew what and what was not appropirate. I honestly think it would be helpful to consider allowing priests to marry. Whether the hierachy of the church wants to admit it, when most people hear and think of the Roman Catholic Church, they think pedophilia.

People who are pedophiles, are going to be pedophiles whether they’re married or not. That particular disgusting urge does not disappear because a person gets married to an adult.

But yes, other stuff needs to be done; as I mentioned a few comments ago - this begins at the seminarian level. And there are some seminaries that seem to be filled with these folks, and they recruit like-minded folks, and those who are not like-minded don’t last very long. I sure wish I could find the articles I read about this. All I can find now is what’s going on in some Austrian seminaries, but it’s similar to what I read about US seminaries a few years ago.
