A probloem not limited to the Catholic Church
I kind of understood from Q that there were no threads about the Catholic Church going through the sex in the priesthood scandals. I just wanted to say that even though all the attention has been on the Catholic Church and the priests, this is not a Catholic only problem. Every type of denomination has these problems. It is even a problem among the Amish who don't even have pastors or priests.
One thing that becomes clear is that even if the Catholic church allows priests to marry there will still be priests who try to have sex with children and teens. The problem is not unmarried priests with pent up sexual tension. The problem is that humans are sinful and priests/pastors/ministers are humans.
