Paedophilia in the Church

Just wanted to see everyone's point of view on the validity/relevence of religion.
ok...I just used an inflamitory title to get your attention.

LOL...you got it.

I think they should be held responsbile for their actions like the rest of society! They are molesters and should be locked up!

It is disgusting and they are suppose to be setting example and turning people away from God.

The criteria for being a priest is celibacy. If they can't cut the mustard then don't be a priest! They (bad ones)are a small percentage that ruin it for all the good ones.

I don't think it is pedophilia it. It is with teenage boys primarly.

They should be turning people on to God is what I meant to say!

Geez, now I am doing it! God is what you meant to say??

Right?

I would hope so!!!!

I think the bad priests (lol, that's what I'm going to call them) should be held just as accountable as the rest of society for their actions. They have been getting away with this crap for years now and it's time they paid for THEIR sins for once. It's disgusting to me how under the guise of purity and closeness to God, people can truly become the furthest things from God imaginable. I think molestation is just as bad as murder, also, because you're forever ruining the life of your victim. So, I say, some heavy handed justice is long overdue here...they will get what's coming to them.
