And then there is the possibility that the very few priests were deceptive from the start and never embraced Christian teaching.
But I'd say most of the time, if someone really embraced Christian teaching, they won't fall too far too often.
Ah, yes, the old no true Scotsman argument. Never fails. If he does that he never was a True Christian. Convenient argument. But again, if people are truly changed, then why do they fall? And then saying they fall because they weren't really changed, that eliminates most Christians. I know of very few who've never done anything sinful.
And if a True Christian just stumbles, then realized he has sinned, why do they never turn themselves in?

Wow, congratulations. Your ordained "men of god" sexually abuse a much smaller number of innocent children now. Something to celebrate. Oh, what a wonderful god. His representatives abuse so few children!
Why is it so?
