He was Annibale Bugnini’s right hand man, when he created the new Mass. He was the only other person to attend all the tests.
So does George Takei!
It seems blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.
Hardly breaking news.
What a fruit cup
Bingo! That's the only reason I posted this article. While I respect the church and its traditions, it's clear to me that the current Pope needs to resign and that they need to allow priests to marry so they can clean house of homosexuals and pedophiles.
Can someone who is Catholic please explain to me how it is that if you are celebate, you can be either straight or gay. It seems that if you give up sex, then it is a non issue.
The Catholic Church needs a better vetting process for priests, or demand that they marry and not other men. :)
Logic dictates that the celibate priesthood is a good hiding-place for men who are disinterested in women, and want to to avoid answering questions about their lack of interest in the fairer sex.

The RCC hardly ignores gays. Every male music director I’ve ever met is obviously homosexual. Homosexual men were one of the few demographics able to ‘handle’ the celibacy requirement to be a priest - no sexual attraction to women, no temptation to marry. Going after other boys and young men, however...
“Social Justice”: A term, like “gay”, whose meaning has been perverted.
I think that probably the worst single influence on the Church in America was Cardinal Bernardin, because he was extremely bright and subtle about his constant undermining of the Church. He led a lot of bishops astray.
Rembert Weakland did a considerable damage too, but frankly the guy was a jerk, not much good at hiding his dissident views. It was no surprise when that scandal broke, because it had long been pretty obvious what he was.
But at least it enabled the Vatican to force him to step down.

Yep, and would it suprise you that the convents have a statisically larger number of lesbians than the average population, for the exact same reasons. Though because the ways a woman’s sex drive differs from men’s the number of abuse cases of priests (men) vs. nuns (women) is lower, thoguh it is still a very serious problem.
Delbarton, the highschool this Abbey is at, sent out a letter last year, that he Wasn't going to be there. I wonder if he is after all.
I ain’t a Roman Catholic, nor (obviously) do I agree with all their theology, but I must denounce this as a red herring. Lutherans, who do allow ministers to marry, see about the same rate of problems in their ministry.

NAILED IT!
And Nunneries for the same reason for the opposite sex.
