Mill Park Reverend Lawrence Dean says priest marriage would stop sexual abuse

The Catholic Church must regain the public’s trust after its history of child sex abuse was laid bare, including the recent jailing of disgraced Cardinal George Pell.

Priests should be allowed to marry to prevent more cases such as George Pell’s, a Mill Park reverend says.

Mill Park Reverend Lawrence Dean writes the solution to the Catholic Church’s shameful culture of sexual abuse is for priests to be allowed to marry.

The Catholic Church has rendered a unique and great service to the entire world, regardless of race, religion or nation.

All the goodness and mercy received through the Catholic Church cannot be ignored because of the spiritual downfall of some priests.

But how far is it going to go?

Very recently, the highest-ranking Catholic priest, Cardinal George Pell, has been convicted of sexual abuse which mars the reputation and strength of the Catholic Church.

The church authorities have the responsibility to revive the public trust.

In order to get the Catholic Church out of this mess, the causes have to be addressed, too.

The only solution to this problem is to allow the priests to get married, so that priests will not abuse their authority in the church and destroy the lives of the people to extinguish the fire of sex, which is natural.

The Dalai Lama said in an address to Princeton University the key to happiness is money and sex.

With the greatest love and respect for the Catholic Church, I wish to see priests allowed to get married in order to stop this storm of wrongdoing.
