Page comments Comment by 'jim' on Celibacy, sexual abuse and the
Catholic Church very good article makes u think. many people do
not no that when the catholic church started (about 2000 yrs

the reason for the change is the priests would leave the church
property to their families so the vatican had to change that. i
think celibacy has nothing to do with pedophilia. (look at the
child molesters who r married) but the crime is the cover up of
these monsters who should have the book thrown at them. and they
r not above the law in solidarity jim Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:24:16
