Seriously, what kind of religion could expect a grown man to go celibate? Dudes go crazy.Ain't religion grand, chapter 8,991.
When you go through your dry spells, do you find yourself becoming sexually attracted to young boys?Who would have ever guessed that grown men who vow to be celibate, not masturbate, not lust after women would turn out to be sexual predators of young men ? I wonder how many of them are actually homosexuals?
My dry spells are not 50 years. I read one theory is the priest can get in a mental state and they become adolescent like and go into a child like state of mind. They then act it out and prey upon the boys.When you go through your dry spells, do you find yourself becoming sexually attracted to young boys?
You just gave a standard political answer, Is that a yes or a no?My dry spells are not 50 years. I read one theory is the priest can get in a mental state and they become adolescent like and go into a child like state of mind. They then act it out and prey upon the boys.
One thing I never understood is why they make them take a vow of celibacy. Doesn't make sense and is unrealistic.
No, I am not queer and don't like boys.You just gave a standard political answer, Is that a yes or a no?
Do you believe it is possible that men enter the Priesthood already holding those attractions?No, I am not queer and don't like boys.

what? Being queer and liking boys? Yes. That is possible.Do you believe it is possible that men enter the Priesthood already holding those attractions?
I am not Catholic. Why can't they get married?Blame it on your religion. Your religion claims that sex outside of marriage is a sin. Masturbation is a sin. Hell, even lusting is a sin. Therefore, they have to vow celibacy.
This is not a biblical mandate by any means. The Church was a thousand years old before it definitively took a stand in favor of celibacy in the twelfth century at the Second Lateran Council held in 1139, when a rule was approved forbidding priests to marry. Even Peter the first pope (according to catholic dogma) was married. Some felt that since Jesus was never married this would be a good model.Others felt it would set them apart from the laity. However, Jesus did not come to earth to create a family but he came to create a church. The Protestants took the exact opposite position. Interestingly enough Luther said arguing that it promoted masturbation, homosexuality and illicit fornication. Guess he was right.I am not Catholic. Why can't they get married?
I don’t understand why certain posters get upset with these abominations, which are surely the work of Satan.
You all should celebrate, your side is winning the battle.

Somebody doesn't understand the beliefs of atheists. We don't believe in superhero powers, regardless if they are allegedly good (your god) or evil (the devil).
You can honestly sit here and say that you believe there truly is a living Satan who is pro-active in trying to get humans to do evil deeds?
More religious stupidity.

Where were all of the moderate Christians to stop these priests? With that many priests terrorizing children for that long, many moderate Christians had to have heard rumors or seen something at some point, yet they allowed this terrorism to continue for decades.
Where were all of these priests radicalized? How could we not start monitoring these churches and form a database of Christians to make sure this practice that Christians have allowed for decades not continue?
works for me. that would stop all the Catholics from Central America. Good point YagsiI'm extremely bothered that so few Christians on this board have spoken out against this terrorism. Are you guys a part of it and don't want to speak out? This is why Christians can't be trusted. Even if you aren't part of the terrorist act directly, you refuse to speak out against your own kind who do it.
You're all a bunch of snakes. I sure hope the fearless president we have helps Make America Great Again and stops letting all of you Christians into this country.

Just for the record, I find this disgusting and pray they are finally held accountable. I am saddened that it ever took place.I'm extremely bothered that so few Christians on this board have spoken out against this terrorism. Are you guys a part of it and don't want to speak out?

one of those racks that stretches youAll child molesters and rapists should be publicly tortured and executed. We should get medieval on their asses. From one Christian to an atheist, is this good enough for you?

Completely unacceptable.
Isn't that the job of detectives and law enforcement?You should be out finding your numerous fellow-Christians who are doing these acts of terrorism and get them to stop. I don't understand how cheeto hasn't started discussing federal monitoring of churches and databases of Christians.
