Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has said that "This is not s homosexual problem."

If he really said that (can you source it for me?) this man is either too stupid or too dishonest to continue in his position.

I did a quick search while posting this but didn't find it. I'm certain he said it, Mahoney said it, even our local priests here are saying it! It has become one of the US hierarchy's "talking points" it seems, because it is being repeated so often. They know their goose is cooked, and the Vatican has indicated that they know what the problem is and its solution: "No more gay priests, and if you don't get them the heck out, we're going to declare their Holy Orders invalid." At least that's how I interpret the Vatican's remarks.

For what it's worth, he is supposed to have the inside track on getting Archbishop Rembert Weakland's job in Milwaukee. How....appropriate.

Easier said than done, I'm afraid. If my memory serves me correctly, Gregory is the first Black bishop to be chosen as head of the NCCB.

It was the Catholic League president William Donohue who said: It is important to emphasize that it is simplistic and diversionary to argue that gays are the problem.
Very weird.

The US Bishops will probably not like to seize the bull of clerical sodomy by its horns, but I hope the Holy Father will help them out to have the courage to fight the good fight. Perhaps the revelation of a Polish homo archbishop (not a pedophile though, just a "perfectly normal" homo) and the subsequent termination of his office was a good thing :-)

..And the beat goes on....

I'm starting to get the feeling that too many of the American Bishops are more than willing to cover-up the REAL story. And this is leading me to believe that's its bigger than any of us could ever imagine.

That flaming bishop of South Africa, Reginald Cawcutt, made the statement that if Ratzinger puts the hammer down, he would blow the whole thing wide open. This and all that has occured as of recent is elevating my fears as to the overall extent of this homosexual problem in the hierarchy!
