OK,a summary (from my point of view) of priests committing sex crimes/sins:
The only men who have no desire to marry (a woman) are fags.Until recently the only careers that such pervs had open to them were hair dresser,fashion designer,interior decorator and Catholic priest.Given their basically perverse state of mind they're gonna be strongly inclined to commit crimes/sins against men and boys.Yes,some men who like,or seem to like,women commit such crimes but they are *very* much the exception to the rule.That basically sums up the situation with priests and choir boys.
As for the sins/crimes that priests commit against women and girls it *is* true that married men are known to do such things but they do so far,*far* less frequently than do unmarried men.
Never having been a woman I can't speak with any real authority about women's sex drive but I *can* guarantee that in normal men the need for a woman's "companionship" is almost as strong as is his need for air...water...food.
It's the way we (men) were made...and Christ,having a *perfect* understanding of us,knows that.
I like you have never been a woman.
I do consider myself a normal man.
I have never sexually assaulted a woman. The only woman I have ever had sex with is my wife.
Sexual urges can be controlled just like the urge to eat, sleep, defecate, urinate or speak.
One thing that I could add is that the priest in question is 72. This man of advanced age may be affected by the early stages of senility. Senility in men often causes them to lose their sexual inhibitions.
That's why even "coveting" is prohibited in the Ten Commandments. Because Jesus is a moral realist.
The homosexual cabal is very real and very dangerous, but I see this particular offense (getting handy with a woman) as being somewhat outside of that paradigm. It's a pretty common boundary offense in nursing homes, I think, and they are not, to my knowledge, run by homosexuals.
