No, there was no torture or interrogation involved. No women either. They were all allegedly willing participants—and, to a man, they were men. One among their ranks also took photos that were published on Monday by the Austrian news magazine Profil.
The photos showed seminarians and priests from Austria’s Sankt Poelten seminary fondling and kissing one another and engaging in sex games. Profil also reported that some 40,000 pornographic images and films were downloaded to the seminary’s computers, including photographs depicting acts of pedophilia and bestiality...

What a joke that site is.
Tribulation is upon the Church. This will get worse before it gets better.
You sure this wasn't some site in the Boston or NY Diocese?
Humm. Well, at any rate, two seminary officials have already resigned, and it looks as if the bishop's head will go too. I'm sure there are worse problems in parts of Europe than there are in America, since Europe has gone further down the cultural sewer than we have. Maybe this will prod the Vatican to start taking sterner measures to deal with these problems. Time for some firings and excommunications.
And your reason for this opinion is... what?
I may not be the strongest on early Church history, but I do not recall the "traditional Christian kiss" involving a good deal of groin-groping. I might be wrong, of course...

As long as gay priests don't tack a Theist on the Vatican's door then it's OK.

Naaa. They'll just be reassigned to other parishes where they can continue their pedophilia. But Praise God that the Vatican came down harshly on "Communion 4 Kerry", as that issue is so much more important than the long-overdue house-cleaning of the Church needed to distance itself from all these homo, kiddie-lovers.
Don't you "Reformists" have some housecleaning to do too, with the Episcopalians and other "mainstream" churches gone "progressive?" No that can't be, that's just divisionary propaganda from the pro-Catholic circles (sarcasm).
Why do you think I'm defending these sodomites? I'm just sick of certain "Reformists" throwing this in our face when they have stuff to look after too.
No, I don't think anyone's defending this. I think Pyroi is simply stating "Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone."
Stupid keyboard.
Michael Rose exaggerates conclusive pictures??
This is exactly what would happen to the Boy Scouts if they allowed homosexual scout leaders. Shortly thereafter, they would be unable to recruit more scouts and they woulkd be bankrupted by multiple, justified law suits brought by violated boys and their parents.
Heavenly Father, send us holy priests. Saint Pius X pray for us.
"Don't you "Reformists" have some housecleaning to do too, with the Episcopalians and other "mainstream" churches gone "progressive?" "
Ummm...I'm a forced-to-be-raised Catholic who's sick of Vatican hypocrisy. I honestly care not for the trials and tribulations of the Protestants.
