If reports cited by Father Donald Cozzens, a former head of a seminary, in his book "The Changing Face of the Priesthood" are correct, then 25 to 50 percent of American priests are gay.

I want to know where Cozzens gets his numbers? If he is basing it on what he witnesssed while he was running a seminary and tolerated it, then he is part of the problem.

He probably visited my diocese, here in Albany, NY. My pastor and associate pastor are both gay; the bishop is considered gay. The Sunday televised mass, from a local parish's day chapel, is usually presided over by a gay priest. Rare is the straight priest in this diocese.

In those dioceses run by homosexual bishops and/or cardinals, the seminaries welcome their own with open arms. Now, do the math. How many bishops and cardinals are gay? The answer to that question will be found in the diocesan seminaries.
