“There should be no puzzlement here. Being a priest is a full time 24/7/365 job. “
What, so priests don’t sleep? Or watch the news or go out to eat? That’s ridiculous. Plenty seem to find time to satisfy their pedophilistic needs, and if the church retains this primitive rule, it will continue to attract that type of man in disproportionate number. And YES, I know there are plenty of exceptional, righteous people in the priesthood. Doesn’t change the fact that the Catholic church has been historically one of the most institutionally corrupt and immoral organizations on the face of the planet.
Only, if by "plenty", you mean about 2% of priests. As for celibacy being some sort of cause for sexual abuse, how would you explain the thousands of married men who commit sexual abuse each year? I daresay, of the population in the US, there is a larger percentage of MARRIED men committing sexual abuse, than celibate men.

You’re completely wrong. Being celibate has NOTHING to do with raping children!

What nonsense. You just outed yourself as a gibbering whackjob.
