In an e-mail to Seattle University faculty and students, Father Harris said, "I do not want to be a distraction from the important work at hand." He said he believed his resignation would be "in the best interests of both me and the university."

*************

It would be nice if one of these priests simply said "I'm guilty and I'm sorry. What I did was wrong".

Wouldn't that be refreshing. Someone being forthright for a change.

Most of them probably don't believe that. If you're a homo and you enter the priesthood, you're probably doing so for reasons other than your devotion to Christ and your wish to emulate Him and profess the Gospel.

This is getting crazy ... he "abused" a man in his 20's by sending him dirty pictures? It's like the feminist claim that any sexual overture a woman doesn't accept is "sexual harassment."

It seems nobody wants to say that all homosexual overtures and acts are sinful, regardless of the ages and/or professional position of the persons involved. So I'll say it! Stop mumbling about details and "boundaries," guys, and acknowledge that all "gay" behavior is a sin!
