Ironic. The Church coverup of genuine buggery could be huge, and this guy gets hammered over appearing shirtless in a Mardi Gras parade. I'm not saying that the parade shot ISN'T scandalous, but you gotta wonder about priorities here!

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I happen to disagree with some Catholics on this forum who try and downplay the true atrocity of homosexual infiltration into the priesthood. I will say also that it isn't just the Catholic church who has been infiltrated by the homosexuals, but the Episcopals and the Presbyterians as well, although theirs is a scandal of whether to accept the lifestyle as legitimate within those particular churches.

I find the unnatural "peaceful coexistance" between vice and that which is virtuous and holy, tragic. The existance of homosexuality in the institution that is the very soul of purity and chastity is deplorable beyond words. Equally deplorable is that this "peaceful coexistance" has lasted for decades due to the unpardonable connivance of shepards who should have been ready to lay down their lives if necessary to gain access to the fold.

The Catechism of St. Pius X calls homosexuality a sin that "cries out to heaven for vengeance," and the Cathechism of the Catholic Church promulgated by our current Pope says that "Basing itself on sacred scripture, which presents homosexual acts as a grave depravity, tradition has always declared that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."

It should not be considered an ordinary vice because it surpasses most in enormity with few exceptions.

The truth is that the vast majority of the exposed scandals are cases of pedophiliac homosexuality, and thus a particularly heinous spillover of the more widespread problem. However, the media is using this as an excuse to go after the church because of the doctrine and morals upheld by most of the 1 billion members worldwide.
