Why so many pedophile priests?

H0ary H0bbit Religious Views: “Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.” - Edgar Allan Poe 
A number of Martin Luther's 95 feces....er, theses.... dealt with denouncing the wealth of the church.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology (They've figured out a way around it!)  (June 13, 2010 at 3:03 pm)Paul the Human Wrote: It is very common for members of religious orders to take what they call the Three Vows. They are the vows of chastity, obedience and poverty. What is meant by poverty is that the zealot in question "does not own personal property, but owns all in common with the community, eats at a common table, contributes any salary or remuneration for work to a common fund, and lives in a simple manner befitting one living in evangelical poverty." I live in the US's "Deep South" & have never, ever met or heard of a Christian that lives like that.
"How is it that a lame man does not annoy us while a lame mind does? Because a lame man recognizes that we are walking straight, while a lame mind says that it is we who are limping." - Pascal
The vows are not for the average Christian... they are for the members of certain Religious Orders... like Priests (for Catholics) and such. And I doubt any of them actually live like that, either.
