Paedophilia in the church...

That is a very difficult topic. Personally I think that paedophilia cases in the church are not an exception, probably before this cases were hidden and now are exposes because people are most prepared to denounce without fear.

 It is terrible, but I think there is a paedophilia ring in the catholic church, and I say that because some time ago I read in a newspaper about a handbook founded in a brasilian church that explain how to abuse kids, particularly, poor kids.

Priests are men just like any man, so chastity are not good because it is not natural or healthy for anyone, and I am sure that this is the main reason of the paedophilia.

I don´t know for sure if the catholic church is loosing followers, but actually I hope that happens because it is impossible to keep the same confidence to the priests now.  I know how important is spirituality in a person life`s, and I agree we can believe anything but we need to understand that priests are not saints or something like that, they are persons just like us, and even worse.  

In fact the bible says in a passage that we can find god in anywhere, even under a stone, so it is not necessary to go to the church.
