I recall hearing about a group of Catholic priests from various churches in the same general area who were holding mock wedding ceremonies and having sex with boys they had brought from Mexico for this purpose. Anyone else remember more details? It is not uncommon to hear about other priests engaged in deviant sexual practices with children and often it is alleged that their superiors knew about it and yet did nothing. If several priests from the same area could be in collusion to do such a thing for a long period of time as apparently was the case, if other priests have been caught doing similar things and if their superiors let them get away with it, is it not reasonable to assume that this is not an uncommon practice? Anyway, the point is that these priests, Christians who are supposedly particularly close to God, are not any more moral than anyone else. Larry D. Enger Eternity is a really, really long time.
