you were correct most [pedophiles] are not [homosexuals].I suspect you are talking about the general population. In that case, it would be astonishing if only 2-3% of the population produced over 51% of the pedophiles. So your statistic is not really meaningful, even if correct.
But in the Catholic Church scandals, well over 90% of the victims were teenage BOYS. There are no female priests. The Church has a homosexual priest problem.

preaching and practice seem to be two different things.

Priests take a vow of chastity/abstenance. I thought that it was a vow of celibacy. Nuns take a vow of chastity.

Pope Benedict XVI has given his approval to a new Vatican policy document indicating that men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained as Catholic priests.With that policy in place (if it's enforced), there will be a HUGE shortage of new priests!

I would take issue with the verb "allow" in what you wrote in 29. My observation is that the faggots realized they could hide behind the clerical garb and decided to become faux priests hiding the fact that they were queerer than Gore Vidal.

I wonder about current priests as well. I personally know a man who is homosexual and who became a Jesuit priest two years ago. That is a pretty liberal order from what I understand, and the last I heard from people who have kept in touch with him he was working with AIDS victims in France.

I think the authorities were negligent however in overlooking (?) these homosexuals entering the priesthood during the liberal 1970's.
This will now end.

A group of Gay Ninjas from Provincetown have already been dispatched to Rome (they wear pink masks)...
Gay Ninja?

this will degenerate into a "don't ask, don't tell" mentality. kinda like right now.

Ok, I'll admit it, I don't get it. As long as the vow of celibacy is adhered to, who cares what a priests sexual orientation is? I mean let's cut to the chase here: Priests are expected to give up sexuality en toto, so what's the significance here?

The only way to really make this work is to clear out the liberal leadership and faculty at the seminaries.

Priests take a vow of chastity/abstenance. So it doesn't really matter which sex he is sexually attracted to, it's supposed to be hands-off.
True, but the Church (and until recently, society at large) recognizes homosexuality as a sexual perversion, not just a mere choice of which orifice you choose to violate. Hence, a homosexual is a pervert who has no place in the priesthood, regardless of whether he buggers adolescent boys.
Besides, many if not most homosexuals have a thing for adolescent and teenage boys. The molestation cases do not usually involve preschoolers or first graders.

Is there an operational difference between a vow of chastity and a vow of celibacy?

Maybe no pedophilia involving boys (which has been what made all the news). You'll still have to lock up your girls, AND keep an eye on your sisters, wives, and mothers.
Wow, Know Nothing'ism is alive and well. Remember, they also pledge their loyalty to a foreign power.

But we're not talking about homosexuals. We're talking about men who're expected to be asexual. Does it really matter what sexual thoughts a priest gives up so long as he gives them up?

Everyone is called to chastity, even married people. For one in marriage, that means fidelity to one's spouse.
Celibacy encompasses chastity, plus the vow rules out marriage for the one taking it.

Uh,friend, did you actually read the article? We are indeed talking about fags.
We're talking about men who're expected to be asexual. As I said before, homosexuals have an extreme sexual disorder. It is accompanied by a rampant, insatiable sexual appetite and often manifests itself in even more sinister ways, such as raping and sexually assaulting teens and adolescents. Homosexuals are absolute sexual deviants.
Does it really matter what sexual thoughts a priest gives up so long as he gives them up?
Put it this way: If one is a pedophile, does it matter how they lust after 4 year olds as long as they don't act on it?
