"It’s unfortunate that Emperor Constantine’s institution of hierarchical syncretists has traditionally chosen to deal with sexually dysfunctional individuals by recruiting them into the clergy."

The only thing the Catholic church is guilty of is believing the current crop of psychologists when they said that people of homosexual orientation were not mentally ill, and, as a result, considering them capable of living up to their vows of chastity and celibacy.

As a result of the above the Church STOPPED the close scrutiny to screen homosexuals out of seminaries. You can rest assured that that policy is no longer in place, and strict scrutiny is being re-instituted.

I suggest you take your Catholic-bashing elsewhere.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

I remember quite vividly how the clergy of the local RC institution openly participated in anti-war demonstrations back in '68.

 

I also remember a young associate of mine who was having a difficult time going through puberty and was uncertain about his sexuality.  His priest was attempting to convince him that it was "ok if he didn't like girls" and that he should consider the priesthood.   That was in Nebraska.  I've often wondered if that young man didn't end up in Boys Town.

 

The historical facts are what they are.  If that's "Bashing" then tough.  You're a coward for hiding behind such words.

Silently accept all manner of lies, misrepresentations, distortions and generally old-fashioned Catholic-bashing or admit you're a coward...papist!
