POLAND: Archbishop Blames Divorced Parents For Pedophile Priests

“Many of these cases of (sexual) molestation could be avoided given a healthy relationship between parents. We often hear that this inappropriate attitude (pedophilia), or abuse, manifests itself when a child is looking for love. It (the child) clings, it searches. It gets lost itself and then draws another person into this. How many wounds are their in children’s hearts, in children’s lives, when their parents go their separate ways?” – Archbishop Jozef Michalik, speaking to the press about the snowballing Polish scandal involving pedophile priests.
