Yeah,he also saw it as a great place to meet young boys.
Exactly. THIS is key. If there is a preponderance of this kind of behavior among the homosexual seminarians and priests in the American church, it illustrates that the vows taken by these men were FRAUDULENT, and therefore, there should be no obstacle to laicizing them one right after the other as they are discovered. The fraudulent taking of religious vows is grounds for excommunication at least. Even though the bishops who ordained them conferred the Sacrament with good intent, the priestly candidates had in the backs of their minds at all times the possibility of finding victims and sexual partners as most desirable.
This is such a sick situation it's hard to write about. Men of the cloth, who would deliberately prey on youths, using coercion like telling them that it was "holy," that they were being "made good Catholic men," etc., shows the depths of the depravity of the minds of these fraudulent priests. Please God, they will all be discovered and removed. Lord Jesus, purify your priesthood!
