It is amazing how God works. My husband and I are in the process of a big change in our lives. We keep praying that if this is in his plans then to give us strength and patience to overcome obstacles. Then I open my emails and read this post. Thank you, Steve for writing this. I can’t wait to show it to my husband. It’s like God answered our prayers and I feel calm. Thanks again! WOW!!! It is amazing how God works.

More than seventy percent of cases of pedophilia occur in the family and neighborhood: grandparents, uncles, stepfathers, neighbors. The problem is not linked to celibacy. If a priest is a pedophile, he is so before he is a priest." Oh BTW, in the same dialogue from Pope Francis, he’s equally clear on celibacy causing pedophillia:
