I can't be bothered (I've had a fair amount of time in the sun today, so I'm feeling lazy) to go back and look who said it earlier in this thread, but I'll repeat/paraphrase the question,
"How is being married a talisman for not having child molesters in the clergy?" IT AIN'T. Protestants molest as well.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I'm not saying it will prevent all instances of molestation. Yes, Protestants molest too, but not nearly as much... which raises the question: Why? What's different about Protestants?
That's all I'm sayin'.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Nice to see formerly useless church properties being re-developed into something practical.
Someone should tell that silly bishop that the church is a dead parrot.

Homeless families in Dublin 'could be forced out of the city' for duration of pope's visit
The Irish Department of Housing has been accused of planning to remove families currently housed in various hotels and bed and breakfasts in order to make room for the influx of tourists arriving for the pontiff.
During these times families are often sent to sleep in local Garda, or police, stations.
According to the agency, there are 10,000 homeless people in Ireland, including 4,000 children.
The papal visit is expected to cost the government €32 million, equating to approximately €1 million per hour of the visit.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What makes you think that protestants don't molest as much? Type that into google..see what you find. Protestant clergy are also serial abusers.

Yeppers. I stand corrected.
Quote:Over the past five years, in fact, it has become increasingly clear—even to some conservative Christians—that fundamentalist churches face a widespread epidemic of sexual abuse and institutional denial that could ultimately involve more victims than the pedophilia scandal in the Catholic Church. In 2012, an investigation at Bob Jones University, known as the “fortress of fundamentalism,” revealed that the school had systematically covered up allegations of sexual assault and counseled victims to forgive their attackers. Sovereign Grace, a network of “neo-Calvinist” churches, has been facing multiple allegations of child molestation and sexual abuse. In 2014, a New Republic investigation found that school officials at Patrick Henry College, a popular destination for Christian homeschoolers, had routinely responded to rape and harassment claims by treating perpetrators with impunity, discouraging women from going to the police, and blaming them for dressing immodestly.
