Why doesn't the bible contain verses that forbid priests from harming children?

Evil people will do evil things.  No way around that.  But if you want people to do TRULY evil things, then all that is required is religion.......

It forbids any sexual contact outside of marriage. It doesn't have to specify priests, ministers, rabbis, teachers, coaches, scout leaders, or the occupations of any other child molesters. Such a general teaching obviously applies to the 1 priest out of 500 who has such a problem.

The Bible doesn't have a catalogue of sins.  Why state the obvious?

Of course it does! Have you never read the warning Jesus gave to priests in His day about harming little children? It's in Matthew 18:6-10. They are heading for hell, Jesus stated (& not just priests.) If that doesn't forbid them sufficiently, nothing else will!

The real problem is, they need to be told.
