"That 's kind of true . The Roman Catholic church is considered not credible based on it 's support of lies , not because they archaically force their priests to act like they do n't want some , then a significant percentage of the preists fondle and abuse their flock as a result of a. being sexually repressed by their mythical laws b. close proximity to young kids c. in a position of power/trust among kids d. for all the other average reasons people do things like that . Kind of reminds us all that made-up laws and made-up law enforcement lead to nothing . Reality however , where we do have and enforce laws , actually has meaning . The conclusion is , yes indeed , the catholic church is unfit to rule anything , and anyone looking to a house of superstision for answers to life 's real problems , is not firing on all cylinders . I mean really , we could sift through some chicken guts and find the answers according to some religious shaman .. no difference really . -Mach"
"Mach , Let me first say that you may be dealing more with chicken brains than in chicken guts in light of your most recent post . But if you can find in reading chicken guts , the richness and depth of thought that you find in the Catholic Church , then you are indeed a powerful mystic and soothsayer . The Church and its priests do not seek to erase the love and sexual feelings that men naturally have toward women ( in your words they do not seek to act like they do n't `` want some `` ) . They seek to control them and sacrifice them for a higher love . They are not pretending that they do not exist . If they do n't then you are probably dealing with an unhealthy individual who may not be fit for the priesthood . Secondly , there is much basis to the Catholic Church 's teachings on celibacy . It is not without foundation . These are not made up laws with made up enforcement . Thirdly , if you believe celibacy to be related to the perversion of pedophilia then I have a few questions for you : Have you ever had thoughts of having sex with a child when you were in a celibate period in your life ? Would being in close proximity to children in a position of authority instigate in you inclinations to molest children ? If for some reason , your significant other died or lived but for health reasons could no longer have sex would you consider pedophilia as a normal sexual outlet/interaction ? If you were required to be celibate your entire life do you think that you would be attracted to children ? And if celibacy is the problem then why does pedophilia occur in Protestant congregations at a similar rate when the pastor is not required to be celibate ? Pedophilia is a perversion , a sickness , a disorder . It has little to do with celibacy ."
