Celibate Priests and Children
From Brownpau.com comes this link about a convent that admits 2 to 3 priests' victims yearly.
The Heart of Mary Villa convent in Malabon, run by the Religious of the Good Shepherd (RGS) takes care of some two to three women (annual average) impregnated by priests. The article further stated that officials of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) "chose to keep silent when sought by the INQUIRER for comment on the number of priests who have breached their vow of celibacy."
I used to think that being celibate means not doing it.
William Safire, however, makes a distinction between celibacy and chastity.
