Saints fight to avoid disclosing emails in Catholic abuse crisis (MERGED)

It’s not that celibacy results in celibacy. It’s that the same organization that requires celibacy also has hidden priests, killed stories related to scandals of the Church, and has shown time and time again that they’re concerned with their PR and image. They’ve also cultivated this cult of silence to protect the Church from scandal. That silence does attract pedophiles.

Well, yeah. Predators go where the prey is. But the post I replied to made the charge that the pedophilia was a direct result of the requirement for priestly celibacy.
