All those things could and would happen in the absence of celibacy. The problem is how the church deals with those things when they do happen: they deny it, they threaten the victims, and they shield the abuser. I will say it again, if you are interested in religion and/or child welfare pick up Whistle.
Sorry I wasn't trying to brush you off when responding to your post the other day. I was in a rush to get to work. But I absolutely agree that the Catholic church has a problem in how they handle sexual misconduct in their organization. It's one area that I really hope change is on the horizon for them.
Edit: I tried your link, and didn't have any luck, not sure what the problem is. I'm going to call Barnes & Noble and check 1/2 Price Books.
