My prayers are with my sisters and brothers of the Catholic faith as they/we undergo a difficult time here.

Since you and I are in Boston, we are at the epicenter of this. Do you think that Cardinal Bernard Law should step down? After all, he admitted to transferring priests who had admitted to being pedophiles.
Also, to the room, I believe that Paul states, in ye ol' Good Book, that celibacy is indeed a great thing, but he admits that it is not for all. He suggests marriage to those that cannot control their "yearnings" (paraphrasing of course) so as not to commit any sins of fornication. Now, if he figured out long ago that celibacy was unnatural and indeed a "work in progress," how could the Catholic Church assume that they could suppress forever a feeling that is entirely natural? (For the record, pedophilia is NOT the natural feeling to which I was referring)
