I was at a dreadful dinner party last week. The conversation turned to the Catholic church’s failure to protect sex crime victims.

“This whole problem would stop if they just let priests get married!” said our drunken hostess.

No. Let me educate you.

It’s not a celibacy issue. And it’s not a gay vs straight issue. Abusers are attracted to children. Specifically children. They know this from the time they themselves are young. They pursue careers and relationships where they will have access to potential victims. Ex: priests, teachers, coaches, counselors, etc.. They groom the victim to gain their trust. Then they attack.

“Skirt, stop letting this get you so upset”.

Actually, child abuse is THE single issue every decent human being SHOULD be upset about. We should all be mad as hell.

It is not a coincidence that there have been so many victims in the church. It’s organized crime. It’s on purpose. It’s actual evil.
