Conservative; meaning what?..
Theologian; meaning what?..
Both terms are nebulous..
I checked my comments and read this comment to me, and your freepmail.
You posted a letter supporting homosexuals in the priesthood, without any comment by yourself, so anyone would assume that is your position. If you hold a different position, now's your chance to state it. If you don't support homosexuals in the priesthood, great! Join the club, so to speak. My position is clear, but I'm not sure about yours. If you are similarly opposed to homosexuals serving as priests, I publically apologize for wrongfully assuming that you did support them in the priesthood.
What is your position, then?
Initially, at the beginning of the homosexualization of the clergy and religious orders, the Franciscans had the highest percentage of AIDS deaths. Now that honor belongs to the Jesuits...
I have carefully re-read the letter you posted, all your comments and freepmails to me. I do indeed apologize for assuming that the editorial was a reflection of your viewpoint. Since I am not familiar with your comments, and you made no personal comment, I assumed wrongly that you posted the editorial in agreement with your viewpoint.
If I had read the entire thread, and seen your comment about "Goodbye Good Men" I would not have assumed you supported homosexuals in the priesthood.
[But you made that comment after so that wouldn't have helped.]
Anyway, I am sincerely sorry for my mistaken assumption, but surely you can see why I thought that, since you didn't state your own position. I see plenty of odd viewpoints on some of these threads.
