be very easy, and simplistic to attribute pedophilia celibacy of priests, whose discovery, in case after case, country by country, lately has rocked the Catholic hierarchy and the faithful confused. But things are not so simple. It is obvious that pedophilia is not a deviation of the Catholic priesthood itself. In Europe, for example, thrives on a well organized and protected sex tourism industry, which has a respectable business owners achieve their instincts with boys from Southeast Asia.
No, priestly celibacy is not the only factor to consider when analyzing this tragic phenomenon. We can be sure that even married, a perverted priest at least try to seduce the children in their care. Pedophilia is not only satisfies the lust for a young body but also and above all lust for power: a sense of control you get someone with authority to subdue his victim. And submission to sexual harassment is, so to speak, the most perfect manifestation of that feeling. The child literally gives everything he has, his body and human dignity, and the executioner can not conceive of a greater satisfaction than that. With a snap you can get everything. What more could you want?
But it is also undeniable that the Catholic moral condemnation focused on all sexuality as a whole, plays an important role. And the case of priests, under the obligation to sublimate his libido in the name of an ideal spiritual, can not be more precarious. In fact, a humble priest of people ask that only saints feats achieved (at least in official doctrine). Armed with a weak and muddled theological knowledge of Latin, the priests are sent around the world, to redeem a flock that makes them more faith that they feel for themselves.
So far there have been heard those priests not involved in these tragic events which necessarily constitute an overwhelming majority. This silence follows the Vatican's communication policy in general: what is not mentioned there, or at least, is more likely to disappear. If God created the universe with the force of the verb, the Catholic Church wants to make their problem go away by dint of silence.
But it would be very risky to guess the shame they have to feel the thousands of priests to see the explosion of these scandals, see their brother priests succumb to the temptation of the flesh, to their superiors, the bishops (including Rome, also known as Pope or Supreme Pontiff), concealing it is not only a sin whose trial rests with God, but an offense and punished by human laws, which makes them accomplices and to some extent, as offenders and base as they protect pedophiles. Ill winds blow for the church seems to have lost all contact with the real world, this world that says it wants to redeem.
