There is no evidence that there are more (or fewer) homosexuals than the general population in the priesthood.

Most reliable estimates have consistently put the percentage of homosexual priests at 25-40% of the priesthood. Further, several serious surveys have indicated that 90% of these are ACTIVE homosexuals.

Now, THAT'S scary...And so sad. Sad that men who have such evil habits and tendencies have all but taken over the one profession I can think of that people should be able to trust implicitly. Sad that the men with true vocations have been turned away at the doors of almost every seminary in the country if they refused to participate in this evil. Sad, that all through these 40, 50, 60, or even 80 years, as mentionend in the article, men with no respect for their holy vows have been in positions of trust all througout the church in America. If there was ever any doubt in my mind that there was an organized effort to undermine the authority of Rome in the American church, it has been wiped away.
