Connecting Celibacy With Abuse Is Inhuman Ideology - Cardinal Müller

His Eminence gets it! Statistically, most abuser are heterosexual, married men.

From Gloria.tv

It is a “discriminatory misrepresentation” that celibate persons are “particularly predisposed" to sexual crimes, Cardinal Gerhard Müller wrote to DPA (January 1).

Müller called it an “inhuman ideology” to use clerical abuses in order to fight celibacy, a way of life which is recommended by the Gospel.

Müller's words regard first and foremost Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx who propagates an alleged link between celibacy and abuse.

The German bishops’ katholisch.de (November 20) wrote for instance that in taking further measures against abuses the bishops want to reconsider celibacy.

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
