But the quandary in which the Church finds itself was not triggered by celibacy, but rather permissive views on homosexuality and sexual activity generally stemming from the sexual revolution.

Faithful Catholics have been saying this for years amid howls of derision from the popular media and even from some of their supposedly 'more enlightened' fellow Catholics.

Cardinal McCarrick is as much if not more of a problem than Cardinal Law. It is good to see Cardinal George saying many good and sound things -- I pray God he will persevere and prevail.

Cardinal Mahony, however, is an emissary of satan and should be exorcised from the Church.

If reports cited by Father Donald Cozzens, a former head of a seminary, in his book The Changing Face of the Priesthood are correct, then 25-50% of American priests are gay.

The next time that Cozzens makes this assertion he needs to be asked a few questions:

1) Is this estimate from your own personal knowledge at the seminary you ran?

2) If so, what did you do to correct it?

3) Why did you allow any homosexual to be ordained in violation of the 1961 Vatican document "Sacred Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes"?

"It is instructive that the scandals have been concentrated in a relatively small number of dioceses and not been spread evenly throughout the country."

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be fruitful to investigate the backgrounds and histories of the Ordinaries in these dioceses.
