"The majority of priests and cardinals have almost no sexual experience; no sexual understanding and have never had meaningful sexual relationships. No wonder they screwed up. I think they also know that large numbers of their own ranks are gay, and a subset of these people are so screwed up, so developmentally arrested in early adolescence and so pathological that they abused children and barely understood the evil they were perpetrating. I'm not excusing them. But when you have an institution so contorted over sexuality, these things can happen and it's the blind leading the blind. It won't change until the church reassesses its sex-phobia. Which it won't do because the only power is held by people who are invested in sexual panic. So the cycle continues. "
