@johnnyabnormal: Wrong. Although you think you have the *facts*, you actually don't. Firstly, it turns out that the incidence of priest sexual abuse is not higher in proportion than that of the *general population* (that includes atheists like yourself) and not higher than any other religion ([www.csmonitor.com]). Of course, most of the uninformed will parrot the sensationalist propaganda of the (mostly pro-Protestant) American press because they're too lazy to do some research and blaming Catholics for everything is in style. Now tell me... where in the canons of the Church, or in its encyclicals, or in the catechism is there anything about "perverting nature"??? What you'll find is things about love, charity, joy. Blaming the Church because of the (admittedly evil) actions of a *few* priests is like saying all Americans are pricks because GW Bush is a prick. Not fair and not wise. And I'm not a sheep, no matter how many times you say it. There's a difference between an institution and the individual members of an institution. I agree that abstinence education may not work, but abstinence does! The Church does NOT go into anyone's bedroom to stop them from having sex. But it's got to be true to it's doctrines, whether the majority of society believes it them or not.
You should not hate or be filled with anger against something because *some* members of that something are evil people. You would end up hating everything, every country, every institution. Do some research and think about things carefully. You'll come across as a person of reason and wisdom.
