The good cardinal spoke off the cuff. He is, after all a canon lawyer and is not a theologian. We have suffered much from "theologicans" since Vatican II! I have heard that Cardinal George has a relative who is gay. Assuming that is the case, he may have let family feelings get the better of his judges, or let him qualify what should not be qualified. All the evidence suggests that too many gays equals trouble.

Active gays, I would agree.

You've got lots of celibate gays in the priesthood now. That is a fact.

Is that trouble?

(There have ALWAYS been gays in the priesthood, some active, most not.)

[Notwithstanding]

"theologiccans" may be more apt (note the my pselling change)...I have also used the term "theologentsia"...
