If somebody has an inherent problem that they're attracted to children, even praying is not gonna be enough, I don't think.

But you can see that that was a factor.

They gave up praying and they basically threw in the towel and they gave in to the desires.

But there has to be a model that you can be screening in seminary to figure out, I mean, I have to believe they know they have this desire.

We know what we want.

We know what attracts us, what makes us get aroused.

And if that's you, for the sake of the kingdom of God and for your own soul, admit it and get out of there and get help.

That has to be an option that they give on day one.

If this is something you're attracted to, we want to help you, but you cannot be ordained.

No.

No.

They're not interested with sex with women.

Clearly.

I mean, that's not what they're looking for.

Yeah.

And no one's going to put themselves into a marriage.

And look at the poor woman in a marriage that's a ruse, that's just a shield.

The woman's going to know pretty quickly, he's not interested in me.

He never wants to sleep with me.

So, like, what is he looking for then?
