After puberty the sex drive gradually becomes the most powerful human drive yet Roman Catholic Priests are supposed to avoid sex. It cannot happen. It’s unnatural. Celibate people endure actual psychotic breaks. A wise man said humans are all at one time or another a little crazy on the subject of sex. A little crazy? Big understatement.
Catholic priests are charged with maintaining The Big Crazy on sex all the time even though it is mandatory celibacy and male-only priesthood that is “unnatural.” These functionaries of the church are formally supposed to believe and preach sexual sillinesses, from gross denial to outright absurdity, on the broadest range of issues—masturbation, artificial insemination, contraception, sex before marriage, oral sex, vasectomy, homosexuality, gender choice, abortion, divorce, priestly celibacy, male-only priests—and uphold the church’s “doctrines,” no matter how demented. It’s not sex that makes priests crazy, it is it’s lack. See what Gary Wills wrote HERE.
The grand jury report of Catholic priests’ predations in Pennsylvania is enough to make one vomit. The terrifying fact that hundreds of priests were preying upon over a thousand victims in that state alone makes one shudder at the thought of how many hundreds and thousands and millions of abusers there have been over time and elsewhere in the nation, elsewhere in the world.
It is long past the time to stop waiting for more reports to accumulate, hoping that something will finally be done about this. Done by whom? By “the church”? If “the church” is taken to mean the pope and bishops, nothing will come of nothing. These sexual illiterates are as a body incapable of making sense of anything sexual.. .
