Care to elaborate? I went through four years of Jesuit Prep school, and four years of Jesuit college. In that time, the only three individuals that I came across who were gay were all lay teachers. I did, however know at least a couple of Jesuits who were loose with their vows in the other direction. Imagine my suprise at bumping into a former teacher at Scores years later. His old mantra of "even those who are dieting are permitted to read the menu" came in handy.
When and where did you know any Jesuits, because my experience seems to have been very different from your own.
Ok, here we go:
One of my room mates in college went on to Catholic seminary (Jesuit). During college he was an active hetero.
We kept in touch after graduation.
I met up with him in seminary, in divinity school, and later in medical school. I was at his taking of vows in seminary, and at his ordination, final vows. I was friends with him as well as most of his family. I got to meet the staff at the seminary and divinity school. I met up with several other Jesuits who were friends of his on visits to Georgetown, Boston, Philadelphia, and the seminary outside of Reading, PA.
When I caught up with him again, he was doing his residency at Jefferson, he confided with me that he was gay. Surprise to me, but then I have been known to be unaware of such things...duh! He then proceeded to go over the list of priests I had met over the years and they were all gay (and all Jesuits, BTW).
He told me of his 'coming out' within the priesthood. He described a tortuous meeting with his confessor, when he told him that he was struggling over weather to have sexual relations. When the other priest got through the usual pep talk about even priests being sexual beings, he exclaimed "But, I want to have sexual relations with...a man!" The confessor says "Well, of course!"
Now, you must also know that I am not a Catholic, although my wife and in-laws are. My contacts with priests other than through my college roommate are limited. Hence, my 'sample' was pre-selected by a sexually active gay priest over a 20 year period.
I was utterly oblivious to the sexuality of these priests, perhaps because I was not looking for that. My friend, along with several of his other priests, according to him, went into the priesthood with the expectation of suppressing their sexual urges. Turns out it had the opposite effect for some.
He ended up leaving the Jesuits. He is clinical director of a psychiatric facility. Lives with his significant other, who is a nice guy too. They seem well suited to each other, and happy. Yes, I find that unusual, but then I have no reason to judge their behavior.
I offer this experience not to bash Catholics or gays for that matter. You did ask.
