Pedophilia Irish Style

[Perry Winkle]

My father was a die-hard Catholic when he was young. He was on track to go to seminary and become a priest. He felt it was his calling.

His mentor demanded sex. He refused and stopped pursuing that path.

I'm glad, because I likely would not exist if it weren't so.

Ever since that episode he's had a shaky relationship with the church. For the last several years, he and my mother have stopped identifying as Catholics and have attended a Protestant (I can't remember what flavor) church.

I have to wonder if this sort of widespread paedophilia and sexual misconduct is unique to the Catholic church, or if it's common in any sexually repressive (spiritual?) organization.
