This Ray character has no knowledge of Catholic Doctrine.

He is WRONG about many things:

"This is happening because the institution denies the necessity of the new birth." WRONG!

"Another contributing factor is that the Roman Catholic Church denies the biblical revelation of the sinful nature of mankind; they claim that even atheists don’t need God’s forgiveness—that they will make it to Heaven without the new birth." WRONG!

"They also embrace the unscientific theory of evolution" WRONG! They allow for the possibility, as long as God is credited for the process. I, among many are clear on Creation, and NOT the young earth version, while allowing for some adaptation within a species.

The notion that not allowing Priests to marry is somehow a driving factor in homosexuality is just plain ignorant.

Does Ray believe that Married Priests would automatically be chaste in marriage and not subject to divorce or adultery?

One is ill advised who takes advice from one’s enemies.

Actually it’s not...

If you start with a pool of young men, the normal ones will like women and dream to someday raise a family. The homosexual ones are not interested in women and have no intention of marrying a woman.

Which of the two groups would the priesthood seem like the most attractive option?

When a heterosexual man enters the priesthood, he gives up a lot. Not so for the homosexual man.

Something like:

God created the evolutionists.
