Can you give me some names on this issue? I trust sociologists about as much as I trust psychologists and psychiatrists.

The Vatican has done nothing more and nothing less than has been done in the past... witness the 1961 statement on homosexuality and also the one from the 1930s (and I'm sure before that as well, but I've not looked that far back)... all three statements basically say the same thing - no one with a homosexual tendency should be ordained. This reminds me of those Catholics like Frances Kissling who say that they are not excommunicated unless the Vatican literally sends someone to her house and tells her she is excommunicated. She hasn't heard from anyone with "standing," so she says she is a practicing Catholic in good standing. I guess she expects the Swiss Guard or maybe the pope himself to knock on her door and hand her a document outlining why she should not be calling herself a Catholic. Listen, we all know the "rules" and we all have a conscience - sadly, too many not formed correctly.
"Swimming in a sea of corruption" --- maybe so, but this generation isn't the first dealing with corruption. The gates won't prevail, we know that. There are also a lot of wonderful things going on in the Church today.
