The real battleground is the seminaries, for it is here where young men intent on devoting their lives to God and duty to the Church will be trained, but it is becoming increasingly clear that young straight men of conservative beliefs are being turned away, in droves, by an entrenched pro-homosexual minority that is intent on promoting ultra-modernist theology and driving straights away: I have heard this bandied about much recently, is there any (a sincere question, not an attempt to inflame) objective evidence for it?

Michael Rose, in
Goodbye! Good Men" researched the topic. Fr. Richard John Neuhaus of
First Things read the book, and says, "Rose names names, and I have checked with people familiar with some of the incidents he recounts. It seems that his reports are generally reliable, but, even if the situation in vocation offices and seminaries is only half as bad as he suggests, it is very bad indeed."

I have heard this bandied about much recently, is there any (a sincere question, not an attempt to inflame) objective evidence for it? Yes. Read this book:
Goodbye! Good Men
It's all in there, and well-documented.

It seems to me that far greater numbers of homosexuals now become priests than they number in the general population. While these percentages vary, depending who counts, every study shows this increased number of homosexuals coming into the priesthood.
