One question hovering over the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal is the purported link between the abuse and the celibacy rule for Catholic priests. Some Church officials are beginning to raise the issue but the Holy See is firmly against it. So is marriage the miracle cure for sexual abuse in the Catholic Church?

celibacy rule for Catholic priests

Clrearly the celibacy rule, the Catholic church and sexual abuse of Catholic children are connected. Celibacy is neither or natural and if priests are sexually abusing children, then they need sex which proves celibacy is not natural. Its time for the Catholic church to recognise the hatrm they are causing and to remedy that harm by changing their rules.

CHANGE THE CELIBACY RULE. It serves no purpose in these times. Anyone ought to have the choice to marry or not.
