The instances of abuse have decreased very sharply since the late 70’s early 80’s. I think part of that is due to the homosexualists not having a reason to turn to the priesthood in order to “hide” as it became more acceptable to be an open homosexualist in general society, especially in a group that officially teaches what they do is a sin. Most of the sickos seem to be are old queens or dead, being ordained in the late 40’s-60’s. The younger priests all seem conservative as opposed to their elder peers.

The bottom line is like you said, don’t let homosexualists become priests.

You could be right. Your reasoning seems logical. Question, as I don’t know, has there been a drop in the number of men taking up the priesthood in the present, or has the numbers remained consistent with the past. And if it has dropped, what problem in staffing will this create.

That is good news. And from what I’ve read, there is some increase in the numbers of men and women entering into holy orders (if that is the right term) lately. Young men and women who want to serve God and are willing to sacrifice marriage and all that entails.
