re: #90 Lidane

True. That’s why lifting the celibacy requirements and the marriage ban on priests doesn’t solve anything. Sure, getting rid of both of those things would help them recruit more men to the priesthood, but like you said— paedophilia and rape aren’t about sex. They’re about power.

Until the Church finally comes to realize that they can no longer just shuffle these predators around from parish to parish, or cover up their crimes to protect the Church. They have to actually clean house, and not just with the predator priests. They have to also get rid of the higher ups that coddle them and sweep it all under the rug.

And the house cleaning needs to begin with the seminaries.
