The Church must come to grips with reality and admit that the priesthood is so dominated by homosexuals that Paul Wilkes, who studied 600 parishes for his book Excellent Catholic Parishes: A Guide to Best Places and Practices, makes this telling observation, “If we drove all the gay priests out of the priesthood, our Masses would be on videotape.”1

This is a stunning admission.

The priesthood is no longer dominated by the homosecuals. There is testing of seminarians, and if the get through that and other conclusions are drawn by supervisors, then they are kicked out of the seminary.

Very often, the seminarians themselves kick them out by making the life of the homosecuals quite miserable.

The Church recognizes the difference between those with SSA versus those who actually take part in the “lifestyle”. All are called to be chaste, so *in theory* there shouldn’t be a problem. Now, whether in practice this is the case, I’m not sure. It would be interesting, if unknowable, to find out what percentage of priests with SSA “act out”.

Without a doubt, SSA will more likely have you face more rigorous judgment prior to being admitted into the priesthood.

But, if one wants to molest children, it makes the most sense to go where the children are.
