To: Notwithstanding; Sinkspur
It is a beautiful thing to see Western missionary activity of the past in Africa now bearing fruit back here in the USA. Africa is now evangelizing us! Many of us are grateful to be served by priests who are doctrinally sound and holy men - a welcome respite from the insanity of many clergy in the US.

Amen! The result of a massive purge of homosexuals from the priesthood would not be hour drives to receive the sacrements, as Sinkspur claims. It would mean that the US would become a mission country served by priests from Africa, India and the Far East. Personally, I would much prefer this course to our present situation or part-time married clergy.

Married priests in the Catholic Church TODAY are NOT part-time! How many times does that have to be told to you before you get it?

American Catholics will not tolerate becoming a "missionary country" when it doesn't have to be. Besides, does Africa have 10,000 clergy to spare? I doubt it.
