It doesn't have anything to do with "vow of chastity". If this is true, why is it that the overwhelming majority of those abused are boys? If I didn't have sex for 10 years, and I loved women, I wouldn't all of sudden want a boy under 18. Not to mention anything the media pegs as being the "cause" you can bet is wrong.
The "root" of the problem is one much deeper and less simple- more related to the Catholic church bureaucracy not screening who they let in. They'll take the 18 year old kid, who sat in the back of the class as the "unpopular weird kid". Now he goes to become a priest, and he's mister popularity. You know the kind -- the guy who everyone thinks might just kill himself one day or everyone else...but he's not quite there yet?
I know this sounds strange, but growing up and being forced to go to Catholic schools, I saw this on more than one occassion.
We had this guy who was like 300 pounds at 13, and very, very shy and aloof. The first bit of praise he got from all the adults was one day when he came in and declared (at 13) he was going to be a priest.
Either way, it can't be denied that the Catholic church covered things up and would'nt listen when people told them not to...that's why their in hot water.
