Ralph Rowe, convicted of some 60 sex crimes, deserves more prison time: victims - Thunder Bay - CBC News

What? Canada's "most prolific pedophile" was an ANGLICAN priest? I thought the accepted narrative was that pedophilia is caused by celibacy. Anglican priests are not obliged to live celibate lives. Could it be that there is NO causal relationship between priestly celibacy and child sexual abuse after all? If so, then what are all the Catholic haters going to use to castigate RC clergy and Church teaching now that their favorite canard has been demonstrated to be false?

I suspect that nothing will change their tune. Folks who parrot this falsehood remind me of a poster my older brother used to have hanging on his bedroom wall: 




'My mind's made up. Don't confuse me with the facts.'

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
