    Some Catholic leaders and theologians have said the sexual abuse crisis justifies a purge of gay men from the priesthood. However, researchers who have studied patterns of clergy sex abuse say they have found no evidence of a link with sexual orientation.https://n.pr/2xvJlfg

        They haven’t found evidence of a link, because there isn’t one. You’re either a pedophile or you’re not; doesn’t matter if you have a gender preference. These assholes will say anything to justify hate and abusing kids. Off topic, but let’s also start taxing the churches.

        There's no connection between the gender of the perpetrator and the gender of the victim. Rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse has nothing to do with sexual attraction.

        It’s obvious they’re trying to blame gays to cover for their high rates of pedophiles.

        How about purging the pedophiles straight into prison? Then open up the priesthood to married folks. And while we're at it, does the priesthood HAVE to be men only? I think not.

        Here's an idea -- come into the 21st century and allow women to become priests and all priests be allowed to marry. As a teacher I have to undergo a background check, why aren't priests and other clergy required to as well.

        Agreed. I’ve thought this for years. And I’m a cradle Catholic.

        I think the church is wise to not allow priests to marry. I have a wife and two small children. They deserve and demand my full attention. I cannot imagine giving myself entirely to a congregation and a family. I really don't think marriage will solve the abuse problem.

        I understand this viewpoint as well. It’s an incredible commitment to be a Priest, run a church and school in some cases. I have a husband and 2 kids as well. We love our church, our current and previous pastors and one in grade school. Very sad situation.

        Not the first or last scandal. Our faith is in God and we know mankind falls. May we trust in God and pray for each other, especially our clergy.

        Seeing lots of people saying that if priests could marry there wouldn't be a pedophilia problem. Do you realize how messed up that is? Pedophils are attracted to the priesthood because of easy access to vulnerable children and no accountability, not because of a lack of sex
