Perhaps both play a factor? I'm not a criminal psychologist but I can't help think that a sexual predator would be draw to a career where they have access to potential victims, would be considered beyond suspicion and be protected in the event of getting caught. This seems to me the simpler explanation but I'll defer to those who've done the research.
Quote:The catholic church is more likely to kick out a priest with a girlfriend than one who fucks children.
Which only shows just how morally bankrupt the church is but I'm sure we agree on that point.
Quote:I bet almost none of these men were paedophiles until after a significant time in the clergy.
It would be hard to confirm that, considering that pedophilia is an under-reported crime. I'm sure they will say so, it gives a nice cover for their behavior, but how could we know for sure?
