Call me old-fashioned but I think the rule of celibacy in the Catholic Church should stay.

If a priest or nun should choose to have relations with a consenting adult, that is their own business.They made a vow and if they break it they have to live with it.

The problem comes from priests who prey on boys! They should be treated like pedophiles because they prefer children over adults.

The priest in MA is a perfect example. If he was a librarian or a teacher he would still prefer young boys.

Don't change religious traditions because of a perverted sickness. Get rid of the problem quickly and permanently.

If this priest in MA is not put away till hell freezes over, he will do it again and again.

In Africa the problem is between heterosexual priests and nuns.

See NCR Report on Sexual Abuse in Africa

One need not agree with every point in this story to see the problem.
