I'm sure they are not supposed to, so most of them probably don't. But, I'm sure it has happened before.
Actually many have broken their vows because I am sure that the Catholic priests that rape innocent little boys are breaking their vows.
Roman Catholic AnswerPriests are human, just like you and me; as the Italian grandmother of a childhood friend of mine used to say, "they are only the flesh and the blood". Every human being on this earth stands before God as a sinner. As Jesus said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Catholic priests are called to a high standard, but not higher than any of us. We just expect more of them. Another mother of a childhood friend told me that we should always look at others, particularly priests with the eyes of charity. They have so much responsibility, and are accountable to so many different people.That said, there is no excuse for child abuse, none; and everyone must be accountable for their sins. Even so, we must never paint an entire group of people with the brush of prejudice, especially to accuse priests of the heinous crimes of a few. Nor think that because the media has exposed the crimes of a few that it is not to be found elsewhere, among other people. That is just inexcusable.
The vast majority of priests are kind, caring, knowledgeable, and doing their very best to save you and me; to serve God as well as they are capable.
