Eh well maybe if Catholics were allowed to marry, things would be different. But no common sense exists in this age.

Only because deviants would be less likely to be attracted to the “calling” IF the church would police itself. Just allowing priests to marry would not eliminate pedophiles…most pedophiles are married and abuse their own family members.
@OldMetalHead no, I mean most pedophiles are married.

How long before the abused becomes the abuser.
