               "A picture speaks thousand words" so true in the logo...
If anyone researches the level of debauchery around early popes this whole sex thing would look trivial...they are so doggone conflicted or smart that instead of taking the normal middle course like any normal human they created a paradox with a well thought-out plan not apparent for the simpleton observer...And that they have a sword hanging over priest and laity alike to keep their dogmatic and financial control on the sheeple...
An ordained priest is a money stream for the RC church given the supposed  supernatural powers who changes the bread and wine into body and blood of Christ with a sleight of hand and the laity captive tax payer for the salvation of the dead soul...He is an addict to the life style and if commits any sex crime can be moved around the world anywhere and the layman can't give up the seat on the redemption bus until the realization that the whole thing was a charade...

Now here comes the rub of the paradox ... the celibate priest has access to the tremendous sin secrets of the laity through confessionals those may run like a  pornographic soap opera at times so has power over them...The children become an automatic victims who dare not expose their predicaments till late in life...It is no secret anymore at least in the US and the RC has been making big payouts to settle multi million dollar law suits...

Just think after all the wholesale indulgences marketing by Pope to build Rome's basilica...  Martin Luther who btw had read Quran raised the flag of rebellion against RC church but even he started his own Protestant church instead of becoming a Muslim...It seems the European is wired different than middle eastern crowd IMHO...
