I'm surprised the percent isn't higher. Let's face it, becoming a priest isn't exactly something normal little boys aspire to become. Given the
proper clinical evaluation I'm fairly confident an overwhelming majority of priests ARE GAY, with a much higher number than 4% having been
traumatized in youth themselves at some point and thus out of guilt are becoming priests and ultimately predators in the full cycle of child abuse.
The Catholic Church is a breeding ground for dysfunction and magnet for the patently "guilty" seeking attonement for what the Chruch itself
convinced them was wrong to bgin with. So it's a self perpetuating environment of homosexuality and peadophilia. You CAN be a healthy homosexual, but
not in THAT environment. The Church makes those borderline cases, thus more perverted with easy access to kids. Not to mention it's the perfect cover
job for a predator. Power, above reproach, forgiveness, access to kids and vunerable people subject to the will of others.
In the larger scope of things, some of the most "religious minded" people from all denominations are always the most perverted, constantly seeking
forgiveness. Look at Swaggart, Jim Bakker... heck BUSH for that matter. Alot of alcoholic party boys turn to God as their next addiction. Then use the
church to continue their dry drunk thinking in yet another version. Truly pious, non manipulative bible thumpers rarely exist.
If it's not the sex, it's the power. If it's not the power, it's the money. Religion is the most abused drug in the world. Hands down.
