Catholic S..E..X Abuse. . .of What Use Is Celibacy In The Catholic Church by Borat1: 8:27pm On Mar 26, 2010
I'm not condemning anyone, but i've continued to watch with disgust at the continuos uncovering
of years of s#e#x abuse by catholic priests which went uncautioned by bishops and even the pope
I'm just wondering if these abuses would have been if catholic priests were not celibate
I mean these are virile men (full intact  cool) who swore not to have any  and maybe later learnt it was an impossible task
OF what use is celibacy in the catholic church?

this is exactly the problem with christianity as a whole today. inability to change and adapt to the spiritual needs of people today. the catholic church is frozen in consciouness and no one want to make the first move to bring in much needed change. celibacy in the time of paul the apostle was voluntary choice and not by force but the catholic church turned it into an institution. the foundation of the catholic church is built around celibacy so they are afraid to change it fearing that it will lead to the collapse of the church. any religion that can not change with the changing times will soon become obsolete and unable to cater to the spiritual needs of people making people to start seeking elsewhere.

the rule of celebacy amongst priest/nuns/monks has caused issues in this regard for a long time, this isnt a new development just the church was much better at hiding it before. though not as prevelant there have been numerous sex-abuse cases leveled agaist protestants/methodist/lutheran/etc as well as other religions. the persona of the church (family oriented, strict rules, moral codes and like) are fueling this outrage, the boyscouts went through the same thing not so long ago. people are more shocked when a person viewed as having a higher moral code (clergy, doctors, teachers, child care providors, mentors) do something like this as compared tp your "adverage joe"

The most disgusting of these abuse is the one that happened in Wisconsin.A priest sexually abusing more than 200 deaf/dump little boys for more than 25years.knowing these boys because of their handicaps cannot reveal these atrocities.This madness should be condemned by every sensible person,irrespective of religious/denominational inclination.

Child molestation has nothing to do with celibacy. I’ll buy your line of argument if the report was about priest having secret affairs with the opposite s-e-x. These guys are just sick.
