The surprising thing about US presidents is that, because they can not be elected more than twice, they are not restrained in their second term by neeeding not to 'loose votes', & can therefore often get more done in the 2nd term than they could in the 1st. I am quietly hopeful - but not very as far as Palestine/Israel is concerned after their opposition to Palestine being granted 'Observer Nation' status... - still, having said that, they have said that the move from Israel after the vote to increase the settlements in the occupied territories was'counterproductive' at least, so I guess it is no longer unconditional support for Israel.

Who (else) will be there?...

slightly more than a technicality I would say...

No indeed - I know it wasn't (and indeed probably isn't) restricted to the RC. I was just saying that, since RC priests were not expected to be looking for a wife (whereas other RC men were), it was a good way of hiding the fact that you were homosexual.
Given that the priests then were put in charge of adolescent boys (and indeed late teen-age boys) who were often deeply influenced by their teachers, it is easy to understand how they could also be influenced (possibly inintentionally at first) to agree to sexual acts. The more the priest gets away with this the more he might look for it and an escalation can set in. I am NOT saying this is the norm or that the children are at fault. Nor am I saying that the solution is strightforwardly one of 'loving his bride' (in this case the church) as Christ loved the church.
However, enforced celebacy for someone who is not so inclined (and posssibly someone who does not really have a vocation to the priesthood, but is using it to hide a homosexual tendency), as JJ points out, can result in normal sexual desires becoming peverted, so that someone who would not 'normally' even think of considering sex with a minor (of whatever gender he is attracted to) might well end up taking advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable position and very 'open' to him. I do NOT condone this - just trying to understand how it can come about...
As you say, the desire to abuse children comes from a disorded sexual desire; the question in my mind is what caused the disordering of the sexual desire. While there is no direct connection between homosexual tendencies and the abuse of children, there may well be one between an enforced celebacy, a homosexual tendency and the abuse of young men/boys.

for those who don't already subscribe to this, there was a rather thought-provoking blog on the sojo site yesterday...

Marriage gives people experiences which can not be got outside of a long-term relationship, and which enhance their ability to perform in the pastoral side fo the role of a priest. I am not talking about the sexual acts here, but about the experience of living with someone as an intimate partner, with all the ups and downs of any such relationship.
That said, there is nothing against this experience having been acquired and the relationship no longer being in existence, so yes, Ecu, a divorcee or widdow would also have this extra knowledge (though of course the RC tradition does not allow a divorce so in their eyes a divorcee is still married and inelligible for the priesthood!).
The other problem with an enforced celibacy is that it has been used as a cover for homosexuality. Men who were not geting married in the RC were frequently asked why not - and when homosexuality was a crime this was rather difficult - indeed it is still a bit difficult as it is seen as a sin to be this way by many (and even more see the act as a sin).  As a resuly, in order not to be asked this question a large number of gay men have gone into the priesthood, so they are no longer expected to be looking for a wife! The trouble is that it did not stop them from being attracted to othe men, and was a contributory cause of the scandal of priestly abuse of boys in the Catholic schools...

I'm sorry to say that I think it is another example of the (some would say hypocritical) way the Catholic chuch thinks... Another example is that, if you are to pay the Curia nicely, there are more reasons for which a marriage can be annulled in the catholic thinking than there are excuses for a divorce, but you are not allowed to divorce... and incidentally any children you had before a marriage was anulled were born within wedlock despite the annulment meaning that the marriage never existed in the first place!
As you say, sex is one of the things whioch helps to bind a marriage togerther, - it is not (at least IMO!) purely for the purpose of procreation, but is an expression of the mutual bond. The trouble is that the RC have got thoroughly hung up on sex to an even greater extent than the C of E - which is saying quite something!
