Because they are pedophiles like any other pedophile. They knew they had these problems and urges and that they were wrong. They thought that if they became priests and prayed daily and was involved in sacraments and devoted their lives to God, that they would not do these things. That these urges would go away. That God would stop them. But they let Satan get to them more and they gave into temptations instead of getting help and they did these awful things.

The thing that I don't understand is why the Church kept this so secretative for so many years. A bishop would find out and he would just relocate the priest to a different church in a different city or even a different state. There's altar boys in every church. It went all the way to Pope John Paul II and I have no idea what he did about it all. These priests should have been excommunicated and arrested. Being a priest doesn't make you above the law.

It might be better to ask: Why do pedophiles sometimes become pastors or priests? The answer is the same for pedophiles who become teachers or whatever else: Access to children.

These people were attracted to children long before they put on their collars.

One might also ask: Why did the Catholic Church (more than any other single group) actively hide and protect pedophillic members of their priesthood? It is this behavior, beyond the actions of the predators themselves, that makes the Church look so bad.

Obama is without doubt NOT responsible for his pastor's comments The query will probably be whether or not he expressed confrontation with the ones comments ago. As you consider his spouse commented after wining Wisconsin that it used to be the primary time in her existence she used to be happy with her international locations movements. That angle is within the typical path of the pastor's comments and possibly telling. It's tough to inform what you'll be able to infer approximately Baraak or Hillary's specific faiths in view that they're more commonly tight lipped, however most likely Obama;s loss of feedback approximately whilst this paster has been pronouncing all alongside won't lean in his desire.

Why does anyone molest kids? Some people are just sick sadistic creeps. Why not blame all those responsible rather than just hold it to priests. You are more concerned with condemning priests than protecting children it seams.

Why do the fireballs in the dungeons in Super Mario Brothers go up and down without end? It's what they are supposed to do!
And so kids can learn very important eye-hand coordination.

Some of the pastors are wolves in sheeps-clothing and really no pastors at all.

Because they "married " god and god does not fulfill their needs, so they turn to little children. These priests need to be shot and stoned and drug behind a car. Not rehabilitated by sending them to a new church to commit the same acts. They are sick and they do it anyways. That is one of the reasons I don't practice my religion anymore. I don't think I will go to hell, but I know that NOTHING can save their sorry soul.

coz they're huamn, and their sexualt desire can't be released in a normal way, plus, adult is hard to be harmed, so the pastors aim at the children.

Because they were taught that they'll be forgiven for their sins and go to Heaven, no matter what they do, as long as they are Christians.
