Pretty low-hanging fruit - I was waiting for the first childish crack like that. This one shows neither imagination nor an understanding of the differences between a pastor and a priest.

For your edification: A pastor serves a Protestant congregation, which includes pretty much everything Christian that is not Catholic. They are in "protest" (hence the "Protestant" designation) of the Catholic Church's authority and structure. Pastors serving these congregations are typically family men; they have taken no vow of cellibacy. They marry, raise kids, yadda yadda yadda. There has generally been no trouble of the sort you allude to within this group.

Priests, on the other hand - or more accurately Catholic Priests, are an entirely different kettle of fish. These are the guys that take a vow of celibacy. They don't marry, raise kids, or anything like that that the rest of us consider to be a normal family life. It's within this group that we have seen the problems with little boys... small wonder...

Just wanted to set that straight. Now back to our regularly scheduled program...
