And only 3-5% of the population is gay - so why are gays targeting the priesthood? Easy pickings? Easy access to boys? A safe place in which to control?
Denial is not going to solve this problem for the RCCs.

homosexuality must never be given sanction or endorsement by the United States.
If the priesthood is rife with homosexuals can nuns be far behind?
Much has been said about homosexuals in an all male environment, like the priesthood, but what about an all female environment? Can we not expect any same-sex environment to be an attractive place for homosexuals?
Homosexual priests are at the front of this crisis in the church, and that's as it should be, but little is said about what may be another problem that hasn't yet been spoken of.
This issue of pedophilia and homosexuality is in some ways a separate issue. However, when the pedophile scandal hit the church a few years ago, I was quite suprised at the amount of push back that appeared when the issue of homosexuality and the priesthood appeared.
I am in the Archdiocese of Wash DC and Loverdale has had a huge problem on his hand. THe diocese of Arlington was always seen as a very conservative one, now this. He needs to clean things up now.
In 1950 the USSR instructed their cells throughout the U. S. to begin introducing communists into the seminaries. They found a home there, and not much later the homosexuals did likewise.
The two God-less groups found they had much in common. The communists could continue to undermine morals and doctrines and the homosexuals could do their evil job of getting their satanist claws on the young.
This template for success was introduced into the Roman Catholic Church at large.
These facts, about what evil was lurking and undermining Christ's Church on earth, was known within the hierarchy. At first they didn't know what to do about it, but then tried desperately to ignore it.
Today it is a liberal, leftist, homosexual monster that is beyond control.
It's no wonder that millions, seeking a haven from evil, have flocked to the chapels operated by the Society of St. Pius X and to the churches that have been established by the sedevacantists. The people who have joined these congregations are "waiting out the storm;" however with the ailing present pope having done nothing about reversing the evil within (as did, of course his predecessors) and the replacement for John Paul II no doubt being a "let's all get along and keep doing what we've been doing" type, it doesn't look like a change is likely.
The only thing we can do is pray, pray and pray to God in the Name of The Blessed Virgin!
I see that my own Diocese (Arlington) is apparently got the same problems as so many, and this is allegedly one of the most conservative in the country! Good night nurse! I've heard rumors that Loverde himself may be light in the loafers, and if true, I'm doubtful that anything significant will be done. Sixty percent of my Diocese's priests may be lavendar?!?! I have no reason to wonder if any of the priests at my parish are lavendar themselves, but with this report.....I pray that I haven't been shaking hands with someone who is secretly doing the deed with pre-teen or teen boys. That would make me feel very sick inside.
