[Judges Gone Wild]

The priesthood is a good place for perverts to hide.

Is this the edifying comment of a Christian? If you were a Christian, you would be praying that all Christians be strengthened against sin and the attacks of Satan.

We don't need a circular firing squad among Christian denominations.

I would say in some diocese that USED to be true. But those who did not belong in the preisthood to begin with have been weeded out and that is definitel no longer the case.

[DManA]

I pray and I expect it will be harder to hide from now on.

The priesthood is a good place for perverts to hide

My pet theory has always been that Catholic mothers, who can surely sense when they have a son who does not seem interested in girls, push these boys into the priesthood with the hope that it will protect them from falling into the gay lifestyle. Of course, not being interested in girls does not automatically make you a pedophile, but once you are a Priest, your are not exactly in a position to meet people and have sex in any manner that resembles a normal way, even for homosexuals. It is the only outlet left to them. Just a theory, and I don't mean to offend or judge, but it does explain why little boys make up the overwhelming majority of victims in these cases.

Public schools are much better.
