[Polycarp IV]

Good analysis, weak in a few areas (allowing homosexuals to remain in priesthood not addressed), but otherwise very charitable and a mature approach.

Ping. (As usual, if you would like to be added to or removed from my "conservative Catholics" ping list, please send me a FReepmail. Please note that some of my ping posts are long.)

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Very good article on what really is wrong in the priest abuse situation.

It's not pedophilia, it's homosexuality. Will the media say anything about this? Of course not.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Seminarians should learn the truth about homosexuality, specifically that there is not a genetic cause and that it is preventable and treatable.

Well, this would drive just about any actual homosexual rights advocate bonkers. How the heck are you going to get this taught, given the number of homosexuals that are reputed to be in the seminaries already?

[A.A. Cunningham]

Lord, give us obedient Bishops.

"Advancement to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers."

[ArrogantBustard]

Fitzgibbons: The John Jay report has revealed clearly that the crisis in the Church is not one of pedophilia, but of homosexuality. The primary victims have not been children, but adolescent males.

Just remember, we heard it first on FR.
