The psychologist says the characterization is false, the author is a hate-monger, and his conservative critics are “the Catholic Taliban.”

I guess that would make me a Catholic Taliban. Get rid of this guy! No wonder we have so many gay priests when this is the screener. He has proven the author's point with his histrionics against homophobes. BTW - for a good conservative Catholic news source click here.

"They are purposely trying to use this book," Brown said. "They see an opportunity here."

"Nobody in the official church," Adamec's assistant, Sister Mary Parks, said Monday, "really thinks the book is worthwhile."

From a related story at the link you provide (for which, thanks); in the Editor's Note: Who does she think is the "official church"?

The Vatican also is on record as wanting enforcement of a 1961 document from the Sacred Congregation for Religious that prohibits the admission of homosexuals to the diocesan priesthood and religious orders.

It took forty one years to go on record as wanting this enforced? If the Vatican is unwilling or unable to discipline unorthodox or disobedient Bishops we’re all in trouble.

I guess that would make me a Catholic Taliban. Get rid of this guy!

Count me in too!

I went to Barnes and Noble last week to buy a copy of this book, and they didn't carry it. It's not available on-line. It is not in the computer at all, and they don't know when -- or if -- they plan on selling it. I emailed the service department and asked why, and they could not answer me, just that it wasn't scheduled to be sold and they didn't know if it would be.

Does anyone know anything about this? I love BN and I don't want to shop anywhere else, but if there is a political agenda behind their not offering this book, I want to know about it.

Thanks.

Yep. Any time a person uses the word "homophobe" I ignore everything else he has to say.
