      Being gay isn't a mental disorder. Pedophilia is and I've seen no scientific research that states that it is caused by abstenence.
      Says who? I wouldnt say either is a "mental disorder". But if one is labeled that way, so then should the other. If not, why then?

      I havent seen any scientific evidence either. Point? Wheres the research that disproves the idea that abstinence does cause pedophilia? Oh wait, theres none of that either.

      Looks like a simple matter in difference of opinion.

      Arguing about stats that don't exist is futile, so lets drop it.

          So if youre a priest and you want to get married, all you have to do is stop being a priest for a little bit, get married, and rejoin the priesthood! Problem solved!

            I think this was in reaction to the growing practice of bishorics becoming, of all things, hereditary!

              It was also meant to create an Elite level of priesthood... by disinfranchising the married priests. It was also meant to continue the land grab the Church was making in Europe... priests lands then fell to the Church...

                    Why?
                    How is pedophilia any more of a "mental disorder" than being straight or liking the color blue?

                      IIRC the reason that celibacy was made the rule for priests was that in the 11th and 12th centuries many priest were "circuit riders" and had several parishes at which they preached. A number of these fellows also had multiple wives, which created a problem for the church. The issue of what to do with the widows and orphans of priests who died was a major issue, especially for the bigamists. The solution was celibacy, a state particularily favored by the followers of St. Augustine.

                        Because if actively practiced it's harmful.

                            Thinking that Ramo just posted is a mental disorder.

                              Because all of the research I have seen supports the conclusion that a general type of condition, of which pedophilia is a subtype, that is characterized by recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges,or behaviors that generally involve nonhuman subjects,the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner,or children or other nonconsenting persons is different from being straight or liking the color blue. If you can point me to a reliable source that says otherwise, please do so.
