Ok, So, I have recieved several posts defending the role of priests. Let me explain further. Priests are held to a higher standard than stepfathers, or other menwho have been convicted of this terrible crime of pedophilia. When a "man" commits this crime, it DOES depend on his position in life. We EXPECT a consecrated supposedly "living for god" priest to ACT like it. When a family man does this , yes, it is just as terrible, but the role of the priest makes it doubly devastating, because well, priests are supposed to be "nurturing", yes? THATS why the crime of ONE SINGLE PRIEST destroys the image of the "holy" church, and that is what you, the readers aren't getting. Add to this the obstinate refusal of the Vatican to even address the problem as well as the Inquisition which has been swept under the rug with a cavalier attitude of " oh, well bygones are bygones" and the so-called "holy" church with its pathetic attempt to render itself the ONLY purveyer of "truth" and that explains it
