Speaks volumes that this wouldn’t permanently disqualify a person from ministry. Looks like the pope has some experience in dealing with this. I wonder if he learned anything, or if this is still being dealt with quietly, with therapy. This is a crime, and apparently it is kept quiet.
How is it that even the secular world knows that these people can’t be reformed.
Ever try percentage numbers? You should look into it.
The most probable pedophiles in order are:
Fathers
Teachers
Coaches
Protestant ministers
Priests are way down on the list.
So if a Father is a teacher of mid-high history, coaches the girl’s basketball team and is a youth minister at his church on weekends/Sundays — watch out! He would be much more prone to pedophilia that any priest.
