I would be interested in where you are getting your information. I don't think that anyone can make blanket statements about the extent of the homosexuality: I have heard 40%, 3,000 (which is about 6%), and 460 (about 1%) who have homosexual tendancies in the Church (not necessarily acting on them, though the 460 number was the number believed to have abused a child).

One priest committing one crime is one abuse too many. HOWEVER, saying that homosexuality is rampant in the Catholic Church without supporting documentation doesn't help matters.

I have faith in the Pope that he is indeed led by the Holy Spirit and will do what needs to be done. But it is not us who will be the final arbitor and judge.

God bless.
