I think there should be a lift on the vow of celibacy since there seems to be a huge problem with the alledged sexual abuse of children. This topic is interesting to me solely because I am currently taking a Criminology course and we are now focusing on sexual offenders. It is said that most sex offenders have been sexual offenders for a long time but they just have not been caught. Sexual offenses are more psychological than they are behavioral, so if the vow of celibacy is undone, will there really be less sexaul attacks on children, or will it still continue? By making it ok for priests to marry or have relationships with the opposite sex help our community or are their addictions deeper than that to the point where the lift of the vow is pointless? Makes me think!:eek:
