The suspects – aged 25 to 75 – come from a wide range of backgrounds. They include a priest, a grandfather, a music teacher, a paramedic and others described as “good family men”.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Something about becoming a priest in life must be about trying to fight inner thoughts you dont want to have. Maybe you want to believe that God can help remove thoughts. Its interesting. They are always on lists of pedophiles.

I think being a priest lets you be among children for a long time, without their parents present. So I think it's very tempting for a pedophile to go down that career.
