The Bingo Report: Celibacy and Clergy Sexual Abuse Louise Hoggett (Center for the Study of Religious Issues, 2005, 262pp)

While many have been quick to point out the hierarchy's willingness to misdirect the finger of blame and deny any culpability in the sexual abuse scandals plaguing the church, The Bingo Report, the product of 10 years of comprehensive, quantitative social research, provides thorough and compelling evidence that mandatory celibacy is directly connected to the incidence of clerical sexual abuse.
