Let them marry

Churches have, and continue to provide a lot of trusting people with comfort, a sense of belonging, a sense of community, and a safe place to be among friends.

The Catholic church is also well known to protect sexual predators, who have been allowed to abuse a lot of innocent and trusting children, destroying their lives.

The hard-core reality of these crimes are that they could easily be reduced, if not entirely eliminated, if their religion would allow those preachers to exercise their basic human rights to freedom of association, and be free to marry and have children like other religions do.
