Gross Oversimplification
Re: Church condemns HBO celibacy film: The Catholic Church has condemned a documentary linking celibacy to child abuse scandals within the clergy.
In the hyper-sexualized post-Christian culture of the West, where Freudianism is the reigning dogma, the idea that celebacy leads to sexual abuse seems natural. We are animals after all, with sexual urges that need gratification, Freud tells us.
However, in reality it is our hyper-sexualized post-Christian culture that is responsible for sexual abuse. We are not animals. We are human beings. We are spirtual beings.
Celebacy is not unnatural. It is supernatural.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
