"Ya think that part of the motivation here is to make sure that priesthood remains a gay club, with a significant pedophile subculture? "

I am more interested in your motivation. So you like insulting Catholics is that it?

Kind of an extreme response to rbg81, looks alot like killing the messenger.

The pedophile problem within the ranks of the Catholic church is a product of their own doing, do you not agree?

I really have nothing against Catholics. Pedophile priests hiding behind their collar, however, is a disgrace. I suspect a lot of gay men have entered the priesthood for various reasons--some noble, some downright criminal.

Catholics of all stripes should demand that the Pope take real action toward cleaning up this situation. It's true that I'm not Catholic, but I think the Church would be better off if they changed the rules. IMHO, celebacy is one tradition that has outlived it's usefulness for the priesthood.
