re: #245 aagcobb

I’ll try to explain. Let’s say 1% of the population are pedophiles. If that were the case, out of 1,000 Catholics who feel a calling to serve God, 10 would be pedophiles. If, lets say 980 of the 990 others ultimately decide they can’t handle a lifetime of celibacy, that would leave you with a pool of 10 pedophiles and 10 non-pedophiles for the priesthood. Understand?

I hate to break this to you, but the pedophilic priests are not there because they feel a calling to God.

Statistics like this are just silly.
