The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children.

They really have to make a rule like this in writing? Dude, I don’t kiss anyone besides my wife and family.
What do you think?

This rule seems to be a few years too late for some Catholic priests!

I for one applaud the ban on tickeling which everyone knows is the gateway”drug” to sexual perversion.

They’re just now figuring this out? Good grief.
Oh well…better late than never.

Sadly we do need these types of rules. Our protestant churches need to have some of these rules too…to protect ourselves. In NC in the 1990’s there was a case of sexual abuse from “wrestling.” We don’t want to get into these situations, so maybe finally having a rule like this is needed.
