Phil Attey has come up with a controversial strategy: outing gay priests who speak out against homosexuality."
I am ambivalent. This is just mean spirited. On the other hand, as a Catholic who is tired of the pink mafia, I would welcome the outing of priests who violate their vows of celibacy. And I do not trust the Bishops to do it. Too many of them are Bernardin’s Boys.
There are homosexuals in the priesthood. Many became priests so that they could hide their homosexuality from obvious notice. They would not have to explain why they were unmarried because more than 99% of Roman Rite priests are unmarried. Some of the homosexual priests apparently have a great conflict going on inside their hearts. They want to do the right thing now that they are priests, but occasionally fall and indulge in homosexual sins. These are the people who the scumbag in question wants to expose. They shouldn’t be priests in the first place, but this guy is a particularly meanspirited scumbag for wanted to destroy their lives and reputations.
This isn’t about the hypocrisy of some gay priests. It’s about how meanspirited some “out” homosexuals are.
I’m not Catholic either -not by any stretch. But I see this as blood sport by Al Gayda and a witch hunt in which many priests will be named without proof or factual foundation in their insane frenzy to bash all Catholics.
