CINCINNATI (AP) _ The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children.

The newest version of the archdiocese's Decree on Child Protection also prohibits bear hugs, lap-sitting and piggyback rides.

But it says priests may still shake children's hands, pat them on the back and give high-fives.

Victim advocates who have criticized the Roman Catholic archdiocese for its handling of abuse cases say they support the new measures as a step toward better protection of children.

The Cincinnati archdiocese says it updates the rules every five years. The latest version, issued last week, also mandates background checks for contractors working with children.

I can't believe they have to have a rule book for that sort of thing. How about, Don't be a creepy pervert? What about, please! Go ahead and have sex with a women, multiple women if you like just keep your hands of the underage children?

There's something absolutely crooked at the heart of that religion.

I'm flabbergasted by the fact they haven't incited a riot.

Well, there was that whole Reformation thing.

There have been quite a few priests advocating allowing priests to marry - primary in South America. Very few people have gone through life completely celibate - some did things like live on top of columns and avoided many of the more common personal hygiene things like bathing.
