Homosesuals have tried to invade every cherished instititution. I become ill to think about my brother, an eagle scout, and what he may have subjected to.

I still cannot believe that Cardinal Law gave permission to the priest who condoned NAMBLA. I went to Catholic University, and the priests I knew would NEVER do this. I pray for the priests who pray for us.

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.

Though seriously, I'll ask you as you seem one of the more pious here.

Wouldn't it seem a good idea to hold off exposure to seminary until at least 18? Perhaps even 21?

This might tend to reinforce a more mature commitment to the sacrifice of celibacy and the challenge and the courage to stand for Christ in priestly vocation.

I just can't help but think that "cloistering" adolescent males toward this objective almost invites homosexual indoctrination, which in turn, perpetuates itself in a similarly indoctrinated adult priesthood, and thus on the Church itself, to indeed, what now seems like a full scale frontal assault.

Thanks for whatever consideration you may give this.

Best.

I can understand the outrage about the homosexual priests. I can't understand the lack of outrage over NAMBLA and the sex, violence and corruption we see everyday on TV and in real life for that matter. Its seems like a double standard when people bash the Boy Scouts for not allowing gay scout leaders, then swell up in righteous indignation over these priests. What do people think is going to happen when kids are raised to believe that homosexuality is normal behavior? Its not going to make it a better world, its going to make it a trashier world.
