If the church gets rid of gay priests, everything will be fine.

Well, it's a start.

[Hail Caesar]

Does the gay lobby expect the Church to bend over for them, too? - just like certain GOP RINOs do for homosexuals causes all the time.

If the church gets rid of gay priests, everything will be fine.

Well, it's a start.

And a damned fine one at that. Send the perps over to Slate, where they'll be among kindred spirits

"There is a difference between a moral monster like [homosexual molester Father John] Geoghan, who preys upon little children, and does so in a serial fashion, and someone who perhaps under the influence of alcohol engages in an action with a 17- or 16-year-old young woman who returns his affection,"

Proving once again that the author is an idiot. Both are crimes, and hypoteticals to not prove a case. Gays are deviants, just as pedifiles are DEVIANTS...there is no difference.

Well, according to last Friday's New York Times, there are 46,000 Catholic priests in the United States; 30 percent to 50 percent of Catholic seminarians are gay

Houston, we have a problem.

Really went around the block to come up with this argument.

[Antoninus]

All the whining, complaining articles in the world won't change the simple fact that the vast majority of these cases of sexual abuse involved homosexual attacks.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it, the problem in the Church is the presence of sodomites in the priesthood, seminaries, and hierarchy. Expunge them and 85-90% of this problem goes away.

The Boy Scouts have it right.

More propaganda from the homo-apologists.
Adults who sexually molest opposite-sex children are deranged perverts.
Adults who sexually molest same-sex children are deranged, homosexual perverts.

The 'social engineers' are only distressed that their ongoing plan to legitimize homosexuality have suffered a setback.

Well, after thinking about this, and consulting the bible, I come away with one impression. Gay priests are all evil.

It says in the bible that men shall not bed with other men, or women shall not bed with other women. That is God's law. God says it's wrong, and evil. Although priests are supposed to be celibate, it's the sin that makes one evil. It says that if your eye causes you to sin, to gouge it out, or if your tonge causes you to sin, to cut it out. If you think about having gay sex, you are sinful, and evil. So, with that said, if you are a GAY Priest, you are evil, as your mind will cause you to sin.

Gay Priests are inconsistent with God's word, and God's law. The Catholic Faith, and all faiths for that matter need to realize the sins they commit in the name of tolerance. I say defrock all gay priests. Remove them from their posts. They are evil, and potentially dangerous to the spiritual and mental health of the world.

All according to God's laws.

Indeed they do! That's precisely why they're catching so d@mned much flak. Nonetheless, they're right on target - Just say NO - to the RainBOW! Bag da fags!

I'm not entirely certain, but I believe I saw newsclip in which one of the priests (Cardinals? I dunno) actually said this.

I thought it outrageous, which is why I remembered it.

........Gays are deviants, just as pedifiles are DEVIANTS...there is no difference.

Yep,according to the author, all they do is "prey".

Bingo!

Similarly, Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit said this week that "the behavioral scientists are telling us, the sociologists, it's not truly a pedophilia-type problem but a homosexual problem."

So this Cardinal thinks that the Church is to subordinate its moral code to the findings of behavioral scientists as if Man's understanding of Man were superior to God's? As if those scientists weren't fomenting deviancy and making a fortune treating it!

The Church apparently has more serious problems than mere sexual deviancy.

If homosexuals are defined by the act then there should be no gay priests at all. If it's just inclination but they remain celibate then it would be different.

When compared to the Fondling Fathers, isn't the Boy Scouts of America leadership looking good right now? Sad to think our sons are safer on a camping trip than they are at church.

[Cicero]

The liberal media lit this fire, thinking they could control it. Now they will have to suffer the consequences.

[ppaul]

What is so unfortunate, especially now with the wimpy, limpwristed response by the church heirarchy,
is that the world will come to regard the Catholic Church as a haven of child molesters and perverts.
Sad.
