If priests had been allowed to marry,maybe so many young boys would not have been molested by "some" of the priests.
If a priest molests a boy since they are are both males...does that mean the priest is gay? Just a thought... maybe that's why they don't want to marry?

I think it not only can happen, but sometimes does. There's a little known (among laypeople) loophole in the rules of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Episcopal priests can convert to become RCC priests with a small formality. But, if they are married, they get to stay married. I actually know a married RCC priest who did this.

You can spread God's message better when married for didn't God made everything in pairs? Is that why there are so many paedophiles becoming priest or vice versa because the believers expect them to be free from the biggest test of humanity which is LUST?

I think it would be a good thing if it happened. At least then the priests wouldnt be so apt to prey upon kids, they would have a wife for that.

In Islam, no man or woman should stay without getting married. We could better service our religion if we are married.

The pastor at my church is a married man - his wife is the pastor at a neighboring church.

Eventually, it may happen if for no other reason than to attract less pedophiles.
