"When a heterosexual celibate chooses to become a celibate in the priesthood," the cardinal said, "he's taking on a good - that is, his own desire to become a priest - and he's giving up a very good thing, and that is, a family and children that could follow. That would not be true of a homosexually oriented candidate. He may be choosing the good, but... he's giving up what the church considers an aberration, a moral evil."

Self-evidently true. Only those who think that marriage and children as evils would disagree.

The problem is that many of the people beating up on the Church refuse to see the link, just as they won't see that AIDs is mainly a homosexual disease in any country with quality medical care.

Barbra! Streisand types. (whatever that means...)

Seriously, this country is all messed up. Everyone is afraid to be called some kind of "phobe" and the Catholic Church went politically correct in the 1970s. They forgot their mission and now they are cowed by the thought of drag queens picketing churches and throwing condoms at newly ordained priests and their "reputation"... well, looks like they reaped what they sowed.

You know, I remember when the homosexuals threw condoms at the newly ordained priests at the Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston a few years ago - Cardinal Law's Cathedral. It was sickening, gross and HARDLY REPORTED! But, eventually it would be reported and people would start to understand the agenda at work.
