This issue is exactly why I left the Catholic Church. They refused to even acknowledge much less get rid of their pedophile priests, instead moved them to unsuspecting parishes so more children would be victimized.

Priests must be allowed to marry.Although Jesus wasn't married He understands how important the support and companionship of a woman is to a "mortal" man.

And yes,I understand that married men molest too but I'd bet that they're less likely to that men who might be drawn to a celibate priesthood.

And how much of this reporting is fraudulent?

It happens often, motivated by hatred of the Church and get rich quick schemes.

Are these news outlets reporting sex abuse in the public schools?

Protecting Priests is like harboring Nazi’s.
