Bishop resigns after being caught cavorting with woman on beach

The scandals have raised fresh calls for priests to be allowed to marry.

Pope Benedict XVI has vigorously denied claims that abstention may have
contributed to sex abuse scandals, insisting repeatedly that celibacy is
central to the priesthood.

In April, he issued a rare condemnation of errant priests, slamming in
particular an “appeal to religious disobedience” launched by a
group of Austrian clerics in 2011, which argued for an end to priestly
celibacy.
