It is kind of funny or should I say sad to see or read about monks, supposedly holy and devout people, sinning just like everyday joes. But the thing is no matter how devout and chaste a person tries to be their true nature is human nature and lets face it that nature is to sin. We look at the priesthood today and we still see cases of priests, nuns or whatever branch of the church you pick, having scandals where someone has molested a child. People still need something to believe in just as always and they are still willing to put the blinders on and think that their local priest or nun is some super human figure who has somehow gotten rid of their carnal nature. My apologies if I sound acusatory, I started to ramble.
