One should always take a look at the author of articles. More often than not there is an agenda.
To get published one often screams out a tantalizing headline and then gets on with the story.

Question: who is Bradely Eli? What's his story?
THEN I can think about the story as is was written through HIS agenda.

-- Since anything but heterosexuality is a CHOICE, then the psych tests should root that out.

-- More to the point these non-heterosexuals might go to a shrink to find out WHY they chose this abberant life-style.

-- Western scientists searched for a "gay" gene or a "bisexual" gene for a decade. They found none and their silence on the subject was deafening.
SO, anything but heterosexuality is a choice.

With Christians promiscuity is also a sin. So, once one is married, that's the end of THAT sin. One would hope.

That’s strange because we have Benedictines, Servites, Carmelites, Franciscans and other orders that I may not know about in my archdiocese. I have never heard anything like this from any of them.

Neither have I from our local seminary.

We are human therefore we sin. However, seminaries do give psych tests to see what kind of men they have.

Police academies give psych tests too, so it's not as if psych tests are brand new.

That's your opinion which I don't share. Whether it's genetic or simply formed in early childhood, I don't think it's a choice for homosexuals more than anyone else as far as what turns them on. And it has nothing to do with my point which is true. Many religious homosexuals have joined the priesthood in hopes that a celibate lifestyle will prevent them from engaging in homosexual acts.

I choose to not receive any sacraments from priests ordained post-1960 unless I know with near certainty they weren’t part of that culture. Not that there were no problems before 1960 but the game really changed during that decade. Yes, my pool of priests is really starting to shrink.

Pope Benedict start rooting homosexuals and activist nuns who violate the Bible by supporting abortion, birth control other than the rhythym method, etc.

Which is why he's no longer Pope.

The only Priest not pre Vatican II we have had recently that did not cause me to raise an eyebrow was from Nigeria. Unfortunately he was replaced by a pot 1970 Priest who makes comments during Mass that pro-amnesty and anti-Trump.

Nigerian Bishops are very outspoken against the pro homosexual and liberalization trend.

Don’t they read the Bible? What do they think Sodom and Gomorrah was all about?

Well, it is true and it has been common knowledge for a almost three decades now.

I wonder how you KNOW that "Many religious homosexuals have joined the priesthood in hopes that a celibate lifestyle will prevent them from engaging in homosexual acts."
--Do you know so many religious homosexuals and know them so well that you could ask them such intimate questions?
--How do you know that they chose celibacy for that reason? You MUST be quite intimately acquainted with them to know of such PERSONAL information about them.

No, I read a lot. There was a lot written in credible sources during the peak of the church child molestation cases. And you can take your snotty innuendo and shove it.

Ah, me. I THOUGHT you were going to write just decent stuff and really shame me, but then, you came through with flying colors on with your very own brand of snotty.

That shows YOUR upbringing or lack of it. Thank you for proving me right.
Happy 2016.
