Does this mean the truth is out in the mainstream news, that the Catholic Church seminaries have been infiltrated by homosexuals? Or is the story still, Priests, being forced to deal with unnatural celibacy and sexual morality,

I snipped some of your post, since it isn't relevant to what I'm typing.

You've posted elsewhere that you're not a Christian. See post 58 here.

While narrowly that might mean that you don't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, it also might mean that you don't believe that the New Testament is the revealed word of God.

If either of those are true (regarding Jesus' divinity or the revelation of the New Testament), to hold an honest discussion with you on the topic of homosexuals in the Catholic priesthood is going to be difficult.

It will be difficult, since, for you to be honest with your convictions, the discussion is going to have to go a lot deeper than what bishops say, the Pope says, the teaching of the Catholic Church, etc.

Because of where we'd have to start, is it really productive to hold a discussion with you about homosexuals in the Catholic priesthood?

I'm not a Christian, but most of my family is, so it does concern me when they are being misrepresented in the news media or bashed here. A strong church is good for society as a whole. So is morality. I don't like to see the disease of moral relativism infect the last bastions of morality in this country. I have infinite respect for Christians, even though I'm too skeptical to be one, myself.
