Well, if you're a vampire, you don't go looking for "fun in the sun" clubs, do you? Grin

Not so much in this day and age, but a few decades ago, let's say a child grew up in a strict, conservative, religious family - and that child was sexually repressed by said family. You know, taught that homosexuality was a sin, that he or she was going to hell, etc. That messes a kid up. Well, then go a step further. Say a kid like that decides (or is pushed) into joining the clergy.

That "club" is very inviting to a sexually repressed person. Given the protection (or fraternity if you will) that the church provides. Like it or not, clergy are held up as pillars of the community and are sometimes "untouchable".

There you have the perfect scenario as Bot suggested.

No, that's wrong. That "club" is not inviting to whatever you mean by sexually repressed. It would be the opposite. Why would someone who was kept away from girls join the priesthood primary because of sex? That makes no sense. Unless you felt a calling outside your quest for sex, that would be the last occupation you'd pursue.

However, if you're a homosexual, that's an attractive career path. All men. And since homosexuals molest children at a higher rate than the general population, you had the perfect storm .

First off, you may want to look up what sexual repression actually means. (hint: you can be sexually repressed and gay)

And second, there is no proof that homosexuals molest children at a higher rate than the general population.

Pedophiles often seek employment near the targets.

People who feel guilty about Who they are could easily see the church as a path to being set free from the mental and emotional pain of the guilt.
There's no telling how painfully conflicted some of these people are.
And some may suffer No self recrimination, never have an introspective moment, and feel no guilt.
