The Catholic Church had better smarten up or it will be destroyed by celibacy

You are joking, right? If the people who took the vow of celibacy voluntarily actually kept the promise, this wouldn't have been a scandal.

I'm not joking. This problem of molesting teenage boys has been with the church ever since celibacy became a requirement. Only today is the truth coming out. It has gone on for centuries but was covered up because in the past no one would believe that a priest could do such a thing. If you spoke up and made a charge you would be persecuted, called a liar and discredited. The power of the church would come down on you like a hammer.Having gone to Catholic Schools all my life I can state that a majority of priests were odd balls and feminized.They are not mature men.
