The only surprise here is that 1 in 5 are straight.

[Rurudyne]

Oh, I see: it’s the old only closeted homosexuals would attack gays meme.

I’ve had clowns on some forums even try that shit with me. It’s as if these Leftists cannot conceive of rational people thinking their favorite perversion is perverted and should have always REMAINED illegal.

[Steely Tom]

I’ll self-censor on this one.

[plain talk]

BS. How would they know? Sure there is a lot of scum in the Catholic church but making wild accusations like this are not helpful and it just looks like piling on.

Nearly every successful or powerful person throughout history has been gay, even though many were married with kids.

Jesus was most likely gay/s.

I remember one heterosexual priest in our parish, Father Tierney. Great guy that really enjoyed life as a priest and a huge leader in our parish. He would spend time on the playground just hanging out with the kids and we all looked up to him. During mass he would belt out the hymns with a baritone voice that shook the stained glass windows.

Even as a youngster you instinctively avoided most of the other priests; the kids knew they weren't safe.

The paradigm of a lot of people with the RCC is failing epically

[faithhopecharity]

that fifth priest is in serious jeopardy...(!)

Sinkspur was living proof of the gaiety.

Father Steve
Father Michael
Father William
Father Peter
Father Charles

In your parish, two out of five are gay.

In the Vatican, 4 out of five are gay.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I dunno.

If a priest is inwardly same-sex attracted, but prayerfully resists any temptation because of his commitment to Christ, and is therefore honestly chaste --- how would this "gay French journalist" know about it?

Looks like he labels the morally serious, good-hearted types "in denial" or "closeted"?

Spiritually mature people do not go around defining themselves by their sexual itches and twitches. "Trust your Savior, not your appetite."

Keep in mind that the homosex propagandists will try to tell you that Abraham Lincoln was gay, every great artist or writer, musician or military man was gay, David and Jonathan were gay, and likewise Our Lord and the Apostle John.

I don't trust the author. You can call it prejudice if you want. Just sayin'...

There is the official John Jay Institute study which said 3 to 6 %.

I'm thinking they need to take a peek at the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

De Mattei: An LGBT Pamphlet against the Church

[Elsie]

Probably Trump’s fault...

[robowombat]

Martel alleges that one Colombian cardinal, the late Alfonso López Trujillo, who held a senior Vatican position, was an arch-defender of church teaching on homosexuality and contraception while using male prostitutes,

Well at least he preferred grown men not 11 to 15 year old males or even younger and he just paid for cash and carry sex with pros.
