Oh, I agree with there being no such prohibition. I just disagree with the notion that priests etc being forbidden to marry results in children being abused as you seemed to be suggesting.
It used to attract sexually confused persons because they were not expected to marry.

Or predators.
But the Catholic Church is a Really Big Organization:
With a lot of employees:
That's millions of people.
And that changes what I said how?
I was just pointing out that even if other churches have the same problem the RCC is the biggest molester of children even if they're doing it the average rate.

two complicating factors are the RCC's policy of no married priests and their willingness to ordain homos
Correct, the Church self-selected for young men who were at best "confused" about their sexuality and also brain washed by Catholic culture.
Being a homosexual does not make you a pedophile.
No, but there are homosexual pedophiles.

being a homosexual makes you a pervert, by definition

What fraction of pedophiles and statutory rapists who are >10 years older then their victims, are homosexual? Do we know that data? And how does it compare to what fraction of the general population are homosexual? I just legitimately do not know the answer, and I'm hoping somebody itt can help me, thank you.

i never understood why, when a Catholic priest makes a mistake, its the evil Catholic church, when a protestant preacher does the exact same thing, its the preacher at fault and his church had nothing to do with anything. what did Jesus teach on removing the plank from ones eye?

a mistake? :freak:
we're not talking about forgetting to put the cap back on the toothpaste, we're talking about hardcore child molestation
when it's the evil catholic church enabling the behavior by protecting the child molester, then the act of child molestation rightly rebounds to the evil catholic church
in legal terms it's called being an accessory after the fact
the exact same act of child molestation?
then they're a pervert and deserve to be executed
in both cases it's the preacher/priest at fault and in both cases they deserve to be exposed, reported to the authorities, and in a just justice system, swiftly tried and executed
show me a case of a protestant church in which the leadership enable the behavior of a child molester by hiding their crime from authorities and moving the preacher to another church and you'll be making an apt comparison
iirc, it said something about not making retarded comparisons

Have you even looked into the issue at all? The scale and scope of this abuse is MASSIVE and was covered up for DECADES.
There are no other supposedly Christian organizations that can even come close to this.
The research by the Spotlight team at the Boston Globe discovered abuse by 87 priests just in the Boston area alone. And that abuse was covered up by the the RCC for DECADES. These pervert priests were NOT removed from "service", but were shuffled around to HIDE the problem. Over a THOUSAND kids were abused throughout those DECADES and the RCC did NOTHING to stop it, but instead allowed it to continue to protect their "name".

the whole point is when a catholic priest does something its the evil Catholics, when a protestant preacher does something its the preacher. remove the plank in your own eye.
