No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman

The hedonist left is certainly trying to do so. Clean up the priesthood of all the gays and we'll have a better go at fighting these false ideologies.

Yes, but how does one identify the homosexual priest (other than perhaps exaggerated mannerisms, and a penchant for color coordinated floral arrangements). There is no 'gay' gene.

We know there are gay priests. They slipped in or were invited by other gays in the seminaries and dioceses. Now, here is the conundrum. If the church bans the admission of admitted homosexuals, it may well force them to remain silent. If the church accepts them, it will open the floodgates to the more militant gays.

Until now, the issue was moot since all priests must practice a celibate lifestyle. This rule does not change ... unless they open the door to married priests.
