Nuc said:I don't know of any data, but I find it hard to believe that people would be able to go through the seminary and find a vocation as a priest if their sole purpose was to use the institution as a shield for their pedophilia. They must first be Catholic and then it seems without any religious motivation for becoming priests they'd have to be great actors. Then they should just go into acting, lots of sex there!
Talk to a shrink about this one as well. Pedophiles choose vocations that put them in contact with children in a capacity of leadership and trust often, they become teachers and Boy Scout leaders, this particular vocation would be particularly attractive. They would do exactly that, especially with the inherent protection provided by the Church at that time. They get a position of trust and respect in society and access to the children...
I would doubt it, would they actually be able to corrupt you in that way?I wonder if older pedophile priests influence/initiate/corrupt sincere young ones into this lifestyle.
