I may be wrong (did not look it up) but i remember reading that part in Mark that says you can't be hurt by a serpent was added many years later because Mark was not complete.

Let's hope the family lineage is now extinct. Otherwise they would not quite deserve the Darwin award.
The validation of Darwin, presumably the thing being recognized by the award, didn't depend on christian idiots coming to a sorry end. It depended on christian idiots not pass on their genes.
A christian idiot may live in the lap of comfort and luxury to the end of his days, he would still qualify for the Darwin award if his faith causes him to expire without issue.
So in that sense, the RCC, by demanding celibacy from its clergy, makes itself an outstanding Darwin award generating machine, the delinquencies not withstanding.
