No. Way too boring compared to new TRUT. New TRUT keeps things lively in these forums.

Priests are individuals that have devoted their lives to serving the Catholic Church. Children are individuals who are under the age of 18.

From the statistics, I do not think that the rate of pedophiles among the Catholic Priesthood is significantly higher than that among the average population. However, due to how the Church esteems itself above governments, the Church decided to handle all of these problems internally and in a very in incompetent manner. This is where the problem lies and it is a problem of both faith and government. Churches should have no more privileged rights than an individual. Churches should pay taxes just like individuals and there should be no such thing as either sanctuary and/or confessional confidentiality.

Priests cannot marry for two reasons:

1. Saul of Tarsus was a moron who thought that sex was inherently evil.

2. Pastors and Abbots were passing on 'Church Lands' to their offspring. The Church cannot go around giving away its own wealth now can it?

Disagree with the OP. It is fun/informative to be included on TRUT's journey into and out of the world of faith.

Paul ( Saul of Tarsus) does teach against fornication and adultry but he does give specific instruction for man and woman to marry in 1 Corinthians 7:2.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.


In the book of 1 Timothy, Paul gives instruction that a bishop and deacon be the husband of one wife.

Sauls thorn should be left at Saul

Church wealth is another subject entirely

Saul does say that if you are too weak-willed to be celibate then at least marry so that you are only having sex with one person. If he did not think that sex was inherently evil, then why is it that he reserves it only for the weak-willed?

If he thought sex was inherently evil why does he instruct that one of the qualifications to become a bishop or deacon is to be the husband of one wife?

The bishop and deacons are the two offices that are given the most scrutiny.

I'm protestant...so I'll tread lightly. I will say that Catholic weddings creep me out. Nothing makes me feel more rebellious than participating in the Eucharist in the Catholic church. Makes me fell like giving the ole' DeGeneration X sign to the priest.
