True. But if the pope’s not gay (and I assume he’s not) he should have the cajones to tell the truth. And the truth is it wasn’t that “Catholic Priests” were molesting boys, it’s that gays were joining the church and becoming priests so that they could fulfill their life’s ambition. There is a difference. And the pope should be man enough to state the difference clearly, for the whole world to hear.

I read somewhere years ago, and I wish I could find it, that the prior Pope's experiences under the communists in Poland was the reason he turned a blind eye to the encroachment of gays. Supposedly whenever the commies wanted to ruin someone, they would accuse them of being a homosexual and ruin their family. Supposedly Cardinal Wotyla so loathed those tactics that when he became Pope, he wouldn't listen to any advisors who came to him concerned about one of the priests or bishops being gay. If I ever find that article again I will bookmark it.
