Catholicism should end priest celibacy

It is good to hear that the Pope is blasting the members of the Catholic clergy who have sexually abused young boys. Begging forgiveness for the pain suffered does not carry much weight with most of us. Those guilty should be in jail, not shuffled off to another parish or state. To avoid such actions by priests in the future, the Catholic Church needs to move into the 21st century and drop the requirement of celibacy for priests.
