Finally! Someone who agrees with me! Thanks Cookie Monster.
Straight Arrow these aren't men who have been put in a solitary confinement, they are just men who've taken a vow of celibacy. It's not like the Catholic Church goes around putting iron underwear on them. If they are that desperate for release there are lots of other options besides abusing children, options that are much less sinful, or they could simply leave the priesthood if they can't hack it. The fact of the matter is 96% of Priests do manage to live a life of celibacy (or at least manage not to abuse children) so why should these 4% be excused because they aren't allowed to marry?
