Why doesn't the Catholic Church end the archaic practice of celibacy for Catholic priests? That would definitely stop a lot of them molesting kids. I mean if you think about it, the Catholic Church says no to jackin off and if you're celibate you can't have a relationship or sex either. Now I know some of the priests are pedophiles and they will always like little boys or whatever, but a lot of them probably molest them as a sexual outlet. And also I don't understand why they force priests to be celibate? I know you make a total commitment to God which is why you can't get in a relationship, but surely you can still have that commitment and a relationship as well? The Orthodox Churches in Europe don't enforce celibacy although bishops can't be married. Seriously though this would stop a lot of this shit from happening.

It's the religion. The rules of the religion don't force them to molest little kids.

They molest kids because they are pedophiles. They could masturbate if they're straight. If you like little boys, whats the best way to avoid anyone finding out? Become a priest, and then you're being all good and holy and shit.

Catholic church is pretty fucked up anyways.

Okay, so you think that letting them have sexual relations and going against the bible basically, is a solution for them to stop having sexual relations?

Why do you say definitely? The main reason there are so many pedophile priests is because the church is the perfect place to hide for them. They're around kids and nobody suspects them because they're so holy and shit.

Yes, because members of any religious clergy can never have sexual relations.

I think they should be allowed to marry also. Protestant Pastors can and Jewish leaders too.

The world that catholic priests live in is way diffrent from the real world, it's no wonder there are problems. It's only human nature to have a sex-drive.

It's cause and effect my friend, cause and effect.

Sexual desire is a physical desire which can be overcome but isn't easy to overcome. So it's about meeting their sexual desires some way.
