Catholic Priest and Rape

Recently an 81 year old priest, named Francis Markey, was charged with a rape that he did on a boy back in 1968. He was accused of raping a fifteen year old boy during his religious pilgrimage in Ireland(edmonton). The Catholic priest was in jail and is currently waiting for his trial. Although he was in jail, the priest has had a stroke and might pass away before his trial date comes up. The priest has also made bail, despite the wishes of the Irish authorities.

It seems that this is a big issue within the Catholic faith and the priests. There have been numerous cases found where priest have been accused of raping mostly boys, but girls as well. I am Catholic myself and to find out that leaders of my faith has been on trial for this sort of this scares me. Priests are suppose to holy and I myself usually trust them. I depend on them to tell my sins to and such. I am not saying I do not trust priest or anything, but knowing that some priest take advantage of people, especially children really disgust me. Sometimes I think that Catholic priest should be allowed to marriage and should not have to keep their chastity vow because maybe these rapes would not happen.
