The problem isn't that priests are having sex with each other. The problem is that they are molesting kids--an illegal activity. Despite your claim that nuns may be involved in homosexual activity, there do not seem to be many, if any, claims that these homosexual nuns are molesting children.

It is not my clain about nuns being engaged in lesbian activity. It is published in a Ph.D. thesis.

Someone thought nuns would fix the problem or ordaining women perhaps. I agree completely that the main problem is with priests having sex with youths and children, mostly homosexual sex. Homosexuality seems to be widely accepted among the Roman clergy. That by itself is a major problem. Naturally the corruption spills over in many different evil ways.

I contend that no one in a position of trust (teacher, scout leader, clergy, nun, shrink, youth worker, social worker) should violate that trust by taking advantage of a vulnerable person. That applies not only to children and teens but also to that new self-absolving category..."consenting adults." Those who abuse that trust should be banished from the profession forever. That is especially true of religious vocations since they alone have the ability to knock on a door and invite themselves in.
