The decades of institutionalized rape of children by Catholic priests around the world and the subsequent complicity and coverup by the Catholic church make it a bit more of a scoop. Maybe if priests were allowed to have sex like the rest of us and if people who are attracted to children were allowed to work through their problems and receive counseling without being stigmatized and punished, we wouldn't have pedophiles becoming priests in hopes of perpetually bottling up their urges, then becoming celibate and eventually exploding...into an altar boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32063993.post-9624118136289558972010-06-28T12:36:46.972-02:302010-06-28T12:36:46.972-02:30Did you ever think it's because the Church, as...Did you ever think it's because the Church, as well as priests, do nothing but claim they're on a higher moral ground than everyone else, and say they're the ones who should guide everyone else's moral compass? So when something as immoral rape is committed by a priest it's that much more terrible in the media's eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
