1. Why do some priests do it? 2. Why do some churches try to cover up the story? 3. Why don't kids speak out about it? 4. How could this be stopped? 5.

You should watch Doubt.
3. Maybe the child feels a sort of 'love', (for lack of better word)/attachment for the priest (or whomever) and doesn't have the courage or whatever to come and say something. Perhaps they think that what the person is doing is what's best for them. Something along those lines. |

For number three I would say for the same reason any kid doesn't speak up in any kind of situation like that. Fear, humiliation, doubt about if what happened was really wrong.
5. I think they get housing and all that yes. |

what's Doubt? and do you think you know any of my other questions 1 2 4 and 5 ? Sorry... I've been writing alot and googling stuff about this and I can't seem to find answers or opinions Doubt is a film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpa37qaOp80 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=s...amp;x=0&y=0 Sorry, i meant to edit that. In 1 and 2 I agree with Jc (brooklyneast05). As for 4, that's a difficult question. You could (attempt to) implement many things (such as, the idea of getting rid of priests) but that would just cause major problems, since you can't necessarily prove that all priests are pedophiles. for 5, are you asking if priests are provided homes? from what i've known/experienced they are. |

I have some questions that I Need help with answering, please help me? 1. Why do some priests do it? cuz they don't get ass and temptation is stronger than their faith 2. Why do some churches try to cover up the story? it is quite embarrassing 3. Why don't kids speak out about it? because it is quite embarrassing 4. How could this be stopped? it can't be... there's no way to detect a sexual predator 5. Does being a priest provide a home for them to live in and benefits like that?typically yes... in parts of the world outside of the U.S. priests actually live in the church itself annnnd that's all i can think of right now... Help me please? Answers in bold. |

1. Priests are human beings. They do it for the same reason school teachers and little league coaches do it. They have a disordered sexual desire that they act upon. The reason for this is no different from why teachers, little league coaches, boy scout leaders, etc. molest children.
2. Molestation is not something to be proud of, so some try to sweep it under the rug. 3. Kids may not understand sexual contact and feel embarrassed, might think they're at fault, etc. 4. It's hard to find a sexual predator until they act on their disordered fantasies, so the best thing to do would be to educate kids on what is appropriate and inappropriate contact/language and tell them to report any incidents right away. 5. Priests live in a rectory, and receive a stipend. 6. It is a matter of discipline. A priest has dedicated their life to God by watching over his flock. If a priest has a family, his time and attention will be split between his family and his congregation, making him less effective as a shepherd of his flock. that's why i always laugh at Catholicism HAHAHAHAH. full of sick pedophiles. Catholics are no more likely to be sexual predators than teachers, little league coaches, or bus drivers. Wait a minute, aren't you a bus driver? I'd accuse you of being a pedophile, but that's already common knowledge around here. 1. because they're so f*cking sexually repressed that they can't think straight anymore 2. why would they not? any institution would be ashamed of doing something so messed up to children. 3. because they're told not to or embarrassed to. how much they buy into their religion probably has something to do with it too. most people tend to feel like they can, or should, be able to trust their spiritual leader. for all we know they could be brainwashed into thinking that it's what god wants 1. Then why do some married people molest children? 3. How does this make sense at all? Catholicism does not teach that molestation is acceptable in any stretch of the imagination. |

because their f*cked up just like the priests are f*cked up. but i still think being sexually repressed adds to it in some cases
kids don't even understand religions or everything they teach. they think god is right and religion is good. priests are supposed to be good people. maybe the kids think whatever priests do is right or for god. |

Why aren't priests allowed to have wives or sex when they're a priest? annnnd that's all i can think of right now... Help me please? 1. cause they messed up in the head 2. cause it makes the church and the religion look bad 3. why would a kid wanna speak out about it it's embarassing and with the way kids are today other kids will ride on that if they knew bout that and it's an emotional scar they gonna walk around with cause it's someone that they supposedly look to and confide in since that's what a preist does. 4. how can it be stopped iono change these stupid rules that a preists have like this can't have wives or have sex or any of that they humans you can't change human insticts just cause they been ordained and what not. 5. i don;t get the question 6. cause that's the "path" they have chosen. it's what they gotta do to be ordained as a priest they take a bunch of stupid vows. in my opinion it's all useless garbage that they do. you take a bunch of stupid vows to be able to read a book with ancient writings in it and tell people what "the lord" has in store for us. i don't see what good it does the person who is a priest cause i'm sure i can pick up a bible read the same stories to a crowd of people and all that and i don't need to take vows to have to do all this. and because they take these vows they are some how denied the ability to do things like have a wife have sex and all that. so when u cut someone off from all that what u want them to do i mean people are made to mingle with others so if you prevent someone from doing so eventually they are gonna find way to satisfy their needs. so what better way than to use little kids that come around. i don't get it though pastors are allowed to have wives and kids and all that but they can olny have sex once and have kids and all that stuff it's kinda stupid all that stuff just to read some books and preach about god gotta love this religion thing |

Catholics are no more likely to be sexual predators than teachers, little league coaches, or bus drivers. I completely agree with this. In fact, I've somewhat recently read that there are just as many (if not more) Baptist related incidents. Catholics are merely getting the most publicity. Sexual repression certainly can fuel the fire, but by no means should it be defined as an exclusive cause. I understand that in many cases, one might come to the conclusion that molestation is the product of being raised by "the village." However, there are plenty of educational factors that should negate any type of sentiment that molestation of any type is acceptable. |

^No, based on what you wrote, I'd say you don't agree with what she said.

that's why i always laugh at Catholicism HAHAHAHAH. full of sick pedophiles. You know jackass the concept of Catholicism has nothing to do with pedophilia. Its the humans who run it that are the monsters.But then again there are such things as a good priest who honors his position to the very end. |
