You are talking about a few hundred priests out of the 110,000 who have served in the last 50 years.

It has been my experience that those who are obsessed about homosexuality, and make unproven and unproveable charges of this condition tend to be a little light in the loafers themselves (see Mark Foley).

I have a general question.

Are Catholics and the Catholic Church itself placing any value on relics today? (My Catholic school nuns and Catholic relatives were when I was a child.)

If the Catholic Church does believe that relics have spiritual potency could someone explain the reasoning behind this belief?

“an idolatrous object of veneration”

I am hearily sick of these constant attacks from the ignorant theological left. Therefore, from now on, I shall respond to them in a manner befitting their utter lack of merit.

I shall respond to all such malign, boneheaded sallies from the theological left (protestants) by asserting, “All protestants, each and every one of them, bugger a little boy every day.”

That will be as true, as charitable, and as honest as the statements to which it responds.

“the Kansas City Star reported today”

If that rag reported that Sarah Palin had once starred in a donkey show in a Tijuana brothel, you’d be quick to realize they were lying. Yet when they print this garbage, you’re all over it like a duck on a june bug.

Odd.

“I don’t see this in the Bible”

You don’t see it in the protestant Bible. You do see it in unabridged editions.
