So Michael S Rose is the know all be all? Come on.

Here from my search on the book.

Why are so many seminaries empty? Michael S. Rose has the courage – a courage that many Church leaders lack – of giving us the fearful but uncontestable answer: because vice has penetrated into many of them, and those who do not condone vice are excluded."

I call BULLSHIT.

The reason they are empty is NOT because all that are left are immoral and homosexual and pedophiles. Come on!

If they are more empty now it gives my argument even MORE backing! Homosexuality used to be taboo. To avoid that stigma, they went into the priesthood. Now that they can practice homosexuality more openly in society, there is no need to become a priest. Therefore, empty seminaries.

Liberalism has HELPED the Catholic church purge this filth from its ranks by giving them somewhere else to go. Good, bad, or indifferent.

In the end, it's not about homosexuality in the priesthood. If it was a priest having sex with the nuns it would be the same for me. Priests take a vow of chastity. Even if they were gay, if they kept their vows, this wouldn't be an issue.

oh read a tidbit ABOUT the book, and that qualifies you to speak knowledgeably? i don't think so. you can call whatever you like but if you don't read the book, you are speaking directly from your nether regions on this matter;
