text: The issues of sexual offenders and priests are not always as linked as you present them to be.  Even if women were to be ordained as priests, we would still need to screen them as we do males.  There are, you know, female offenders as well.  The real issue is one you present well later in your comment: it is true that the Church would be a healthier place if it's doors were opened.  But that has never been the case since the earliest days of the Christian community, and from this report, it will never be until it lays in ruins and a new Church is born.  Let's not hold our breaths.
