Though many would like to think so, pedophilia—the sexual attraction to children—did not originate in the Roman Catholic Church, and it is not a result of mandated celibacy for priests.
This evil has penetrated every major religion and every segment of society. In any given month, some 40 thousand new young bodies show up on kiddie porn sites intertwined...

A fairly common practice of too many parents is to make their child an intermediary when a fight is going on between husband and wife.
