My take on the celibacy issue is that it is not a direct link to pedophilia, but it creates a self-selection problem in the priesthood.  The vow of celibacy creates, from day one, a preoccupation with and unrealistic expectation of spurning one's sexual predilictions.  That makes it a potential solution for all kinds of men who are otherwise sexually isolated, confused, and/or ashamed.  The priesthood throws all of those men together in a culture of secrecy and shame without any psychiatric or practical support and then inserts them into positions of absolute trust in schools and communities.  If I were TRYING to create an environment of sexual abuse and betrayal of trust, I don't know if I could design it better.

I'm certainly not trying to create a direct parallel nor classify priests in the same way expressly, but the dynamic has always reminded me of the sexual dynamics of long term prisoners.  Otherwise straight individuals begin engaging in homosexual activity due to a lack of outlet for normal sexual urges and behavior and its replaced with opportunity and power dynamics to create alternative, if not deviant, behavior.  Same could be seen with priests, but with even more shame, confusion, and misplaced urges and outcomes.

At least Baylor's bag dropping is no longer illegal.

Have to believe Drew has moved onto extortion as a tool in his bag.  Wouldn’t put anything past him.

I was unaware there's a link between celibacy and pedophilia

I do think there is a ink between celibacy and gay priests, though.

His shot is certainly unorthodox.  Looks like he works out with Haliburton.

Just wanna voice appreciation for a really good conversation here with lots of thoughtful posts. 

My take on the celibacy issue is that it is not a direct link to pedophilia, but it creates a self-selection problem in the priesthood.  The vow of celibacy creates, from day one, a preoccupation with and unrealistic expectation of spurning one's sexual predilictions.  That makes it a potential solution for all kinds of men who are otherwise sexually isolated, confused, and/or ashamed.  The priesthood throws all of those men together in a culture of secrecy and shame without any psychiatric or practical support and then inserts them into positions of absolute trust in schools and communities.  If I were TRYING to create an environment of sexual abuse and betrayal of trust, I don't know if I could design it better.

Removing the vow of celibacy is a step toward creating a more healthy conversation around sexuality in the clergy.  IMHO it would also help lead to women in higher positions of church authority, which is also a must to help solve this problem.

This is such an outstanding post.

Agree.  Scott Drew should admit his sins and repent but he’s a raging hypocrite

Rocket, you put that one on a tee.

Karon Bradley would have helped as a point guard

Alton Mason. He was reportedly ripping up Hutch in practice but couldn't handle the academics at MU, so Deane made him leave the team after midterms. We would have been tourney team in 1998 if Mason had stayed.

another PG transfer that hurt was DeMarcus Minor. He was reportedly promised the starting PG spot after Hutch left but then Deane recruited Cordell to start over him. He had a nice career at Baylor.

Softening the blow for both though is it led to Deane's departure to the Crean era, but being a student at the time a little more success would have been nice!
