No, this is a reflection of Paul's hatred of sexuality of any kind. He claimed that any form of Earthly love, even that between man and wife, was denying some part of your heart to God. Clerical celibacy was supposed to be sign of total commitment to the service of the Lord Jesus. As soon as joining the Church became a path to power, wealth, and privilege, however, the men who joined for that reason saw no reason to abide by spiritual restrictions, they were the Church, after all, they made the rules. This was a bunch of guys who ruled most of the known world, lived like kings, and had all the women they wanted. You can call that not getting laid and giving up if you like, I doubt they did.

"extremely, you do not see close to the occurrence between protestant clergy who're allowed to marry." you purchased that proper. extremely that you word a good more advantageous occurrence between Protestant clergy of abusing their parishioners. Google those statistics, and also you may discover out what some thing individuals already understand. And celibacy has no longer one aspect to do with pedophilia. Married or unmarried -- a pedophile objectives toddlers, no longer adults. there are distinct youngsters who've been molested by making use of married Protestant clergymen, so as that portion of your theory falls flat. finally, i do not understand what distant island you're on, yet considering your newspapers must be slightly sluggish in getting there, i will fill you in on the information: Coolidge is not any longer President, the Edsel has lengthy previous the way of the dinosaur, computers can now be held in a unmarried hand really of one room, and the media nonetheless likes to bash Catholics each danger they get. evidence of that very last one? you're nonetheless Googling the statistics for Protestant clergical abuse, are not you?

No, and by the tone of your question I get the impression you're either very young or just extremely immature.
There is more to life than sex, believe it or not. Many men enter the priesthood because they want to serve God.

I think its a big mistack many join the priest hood before they are fully mature or to hide the fact they are gay they still have sexual desires hence all the scandle

No, the guys that couldn't get laid, are proud and call themselves gay.

That's it, have a laugh at the Catholic Church. We can take it and will not behead you for it.
