This is proof that homosexuality and homosexual abuse of teenage boys by Catholic priests has nothing to do with priestly celibacy. Ukrainian Catholic Priests can marry before they are ordained priests. Bishop Paprocki of Springfield has a committee in his diocese which is in charge of both adult sexual and financial misdeeds by priests, because they often go hand in hand. If you find a sexual crime, there will often be an associated financial crime and vice versa.

Wuf. More proof positive of the grave need for basic good practices being enforced by bishops and their priests - to say nothing of canon and local (diocesan) law!

The idea of random searches and drug tests for priests, however, is a bridge too far. Treating all priests like criminals is extraordinarily unjust - to say nothing of the damage it does (and already has) to them, those to whom they minister (who become objects of fear of liability), and to the crucial relationship between them & their ordinaries.
