Nothing New Here

Did you see where Los Angeles Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala resigned after it was revealed that he fathered two now-teenage children? Read the story in The Washington Post.

My reaction is that Bishop Zavala was following a quite old Roman Catholic tradition; there have even been several popes with children. Go here to see a Wikipedia list of sexually active popes.

I'd rather Bishop Zavala fathered children than molested them, as have many priests. Better a parent than a pedophile.
