What did we expect?

Factual Questions

There’s been a fair bit of press lately regarding the Catholic Church and the conduct of it’s employees/ministers/priests.

What bothers me is the fact that we’re so shocked, surprised and outraged when these allegations come to light.

Consider the job description:

1- Candidate must be willing to work closely with adolescent and pre-pubescent males who have been pre-conditioned to believe that a priest is just one step away from God, and several notches above their biological father’s status.

2- Candidate must be celibate and may not engage in sexual activity with females.

Hmmm…I wonder, what kind of guy would be interested in this type of occupation?

Am I way off base here?

Yeah, you’re way off base.

GQ is for questions with factual answers. I don’t expect there’s a factual answer to your question, so I’ll close this thread. There are a number of threads in Great Debates discussing the controversy. If none of those meets your needs, you can restart your thread in that forum.
