Interesting article. Thank you.

“At least 300 U.S. priests suffered AIDS-related deaths between the mid-1980s and 1999.” 300 over a 15 years period is .01% of the fifteen million people that died of AIDS over the same period.

“For the wages of sin is death,” wrote St. Paul in Romans 6:23. Priests know it as well as anyone.
