Reply #9: The vow of chastity has nothing to do with sexual perversion

[meow2u3]

Perverts use sex to gain power over their victims, not for pleasure alone. Why are you singling out Catholic priests when there are married men and Protestant ministers who are also pedophiles (not to mention other kinds of perverts)?

You make it sound as if it weren't for priests' vow of chastity, pedophilia and other sexual perversions would disappear from the Earth. Just tell that to kids who've been victimized by married men, teenagers, Protestant ministers, or rabbis, to name a few. Pedophiles are the lowest form of predators, and if they weren't capable of sexual activity, they'd prey on kids by other means.
