[Oe List ...] Penance is required

[Del Morrill]

Unfortunately, marriage is not necessarily an answer to pedophilia.  I have worked with too many clients who lived as children with pedophiliacs - fathers, grandfathers, uncles - all married!

A meditative thought:
If the Catholic Church is to survive, it must allow priests to marry (and women to be priests). That is it’s penance! Otherwise it will continue to be a magnet for pedophiles.
If victims demand it, perhaps this could be a part of their healing process. Others could join in support.
Whatever the Catholic Church’s response, it must be radical, structural, and more than empty words.
Prayers, prayers, and more prayers,
Sarah
