The Sexual Revolution made them do it!?

Commentary Headline

Dear Friends,

In today's lead commentary Minneapolis-based investigative journalist, Joe Rigert, questions why the recently released John Jay College investigation into the causes of clerical sexual abuse downplayed the role of celibacy. Rigert says that while the US researchers rejected celibacy as a cause "an expert panel in a government study of sex abuse by priests in southeastern Ireland agreed unanimously that mandatory celibacy contributed to the abuse problem".

My apologies for the lateness of today's email. We were without power up here in the Blue Mountains for a good part of today because of the high winds in Sydney at the moment.
