But the fact remains that the celibacy rule contributes significantly to the gay clergy problem, correct?
“But the fact remains that the celibacy rule contributes significantly to the gay clergy problem, correct?”
Why would that be correct? What assumptions underlie that conclusion?
Why would a sodomite enter a vocation that he is forbidden to enter, where the practice of his perversion is prohibited?
The assumption here seems to be that seminaries are rife with sodomites, and therefore a congenial environment for them. But it was not always so. The question to ask, then, is how did it get this way?
We find, when we look, that the USSR, and specifically the GRU and KGB, are responsible for creating that environment. Seminaries were *made into* places that are attractive to sodomites by the Soviets. There is nothing intrinsic to seminaries that is attractive to sodomites. The celibacy rule is irrelevant to this issue.
And before you go into anti-anti-communist mode, consider this: If you were an officer in the KGB, wouldn’t you be smart enough to think of infiltrating firebrand communists into the seminaries? And as one of their missions, wouldn’t you tell them to work their way up to the admissions committee, then flood the place with sodomites?
