re: #76 Summer

I’m not going to bash Catholicism right now, and anyway I don’t have the time. However, I just have to say that the whole celibacy thing really has got to go. It’s been remarked on for hundreds and hundreds of years and it simply just cannot be healthy for the mind or the society revolving around and within it.

I know most priests are not child molesters - I take that as a given. But the fact is that their lifestyle, at this point, really has to be called into question.

The problem with trying to link celibacy with child abuse would mean if the church eliminated the celibacy issue those that are committing this crime would be attracted to adult women, not little boys. (imho)
