Re: Ask a Catholic
Just to clarify, I never thought that celibacy led to pedophilia, only that it would attract those looking for a religious cure. The John Jay study is interesting, but it only compares priests against the general population. I would like to see a study against the rates of clergy from other religions that allow marriage.
But moreso, if celibacy isn't called for in the Bible, why mandate it for priests?
