..I suppose I hadn't really thought about it like that Niamh...I wonder if a lot of them 'know' what they are when they choose the church...or whether the celibacy thing..kind of...****'s them up and this is what they do..I mean I know it's still paedophillia...but I wonder if it's there from the start
..I just think about everything too much
