The really key factor, which was noted in Cardinal Medeiros' 1979 letter to the Vatican on the subject, is the way they band together in a mafia-like network. The network functions to circumvent regulations, to gain control of finances and positions of leadership and power, and discriminate against heterosexuals and orthodox and conservative Catholics who oppose their agenda and lifestyle. Their ultimate goal is obviously to overturn church teachings on sexuality and to use offices of the church to promote a political agenda favorable to homosexuals while they are not using leisure travel, and five-star gourmet dining events, a hallmark of gay subculture and socializing. A thorough audit of church finances should be conducted to expose these abuses of church funds.

The misuse of church funds to finance extracurricular activities by homosexual priests is going to be the next phase of the scandal. Where has the money gone?

I have never heard of such abuses by the Catholic Church, nor witnessed them. We even chipped in to help our parish priest to get a car. The priests at my University never showed such abundance. Where do you get these tales?
