I'm not Catholic, and I don't really understand why priests can't marry, although I am not sure if letting them marry would make a difference. Pedophiles are everywhere, I'm sorry to say. They are attracted to children, they understand that society thinks it's wrong but they don't; they actually see it as 'loving' children. Ever hear of NAMBLA? Google it sometime, if you can stomach it. This is a serious problem all over the world.

Howard Stern used to do a rant/bit about NAMBLA. Those are some sick people.

I find it funny that so many women have opinions on boys being abused.I'd feel daunted to comment about women being raped.
I never have heard about women being raped by nuns. The nuns I remember were ugly.
Anyway.
Child abusers are opportunists.
It really has to do with putting themselves in a place where they can abuse kids (boys) with the least scrutiny.
If you want to steal car parts, you don't work at Victoria's Secret.
If you want to steal CDs, you don't work at McDonald's.
People put way too much thought into the idea that priests, coaches, teachers abuse kids.
I worked with a few doctors in my time and was not surprised that they were hop/speed/dope heads.
It just makes getting drugs that much easier.
Same thing with the way things roll in real life.
There was a female teacher here in El Lay that got caught banging around with a student. She turned herself in because she was feeling guilty. Men are wired differently, some of us don't give a shoot.

The Catholic Church runs on fear and humiliation.
God is always watching you and you will go to he!! for simple stuff., That used to be hammered into you soul while you were at school. If you came home and told mom about something the priests pulled off, chances are you'd get cuffed about the ear and told to shut up and pray to god for lying.
Had a convo with my mom about priests in her time and just recently when the allegations here in El Lay came up.
I heard the stories about a priest back in the 40's/50's who had tales told of his 'transgressions' and how the church bounced his nasty arse out to another parish/area.
She also told me of another recent priest, at the church they had dances at. Seems he was a lady's man and like to hug the woman. And the women loved him because he was handsome and wore a uniform.
There also was a priest that impregnated a couple of girls, I can't comment on that story, because I have no woman parts.
I have seen them close up, but still cannot comment about them.
There's way too much generalization when it comes to classifying the crimes.
Let's just call a pig, a pig and deal with it accordingly.
The law kinda lumps them all into a group and they are all give general penalties.
I am just talking about the males, I can't comment on the hot teachers, that most of us boys fantasized about.
I do have a great 6th grade story about my hot CATHOLIC SCHOOL teacher.
But, I digress......
The problem is simple. It's just like any organization.
If the employees are acting stupid, the company hides it.
Our moral outrage is adjusted by who they are and what crime they have commited and who they have commited them against.
Kids should be protected. That is a given.
Most of the people that were molested years ago and kept their mouths shut for decades? I have a problem with them. I found out that god don't give no one a pass for so long, keeping theirs mouths shut was THEIR sin. I would have shouted it from the mountain tops.
(NO, I DO NOT BLAME THEM FOR THE ABUSE. I BLAME them for living a screwed up life and not doing anything about it sooner....)
CMs mostly prey on the kids that start out at the back of the pack. They sweep up the stragglers in marathon of life. We just have to take care of our own and never let the children be the 'last'.
Part of the problem is putting so much trust into cops, priests, doctors and some of the politicians we have right now in Washington.
LOL, I had toss that in.
