"Most Catholics in this country know many good priests who are gay, but keep their vows of celibacy ..."

Oh, yeah? Who made up this cr*p?

I can't think of a single priest who I know is homosexual. One or two of the substitutes we've had when our pastor is away have made me wonder, but (a) I don't know they're homosexual; (b) I don't know if they're good priests, overall, only that they turn up on time to fill in, and manage to get through Mass reasonably well; and (c) I couldn't say from my own knowledge whether any priest I've known has always been faithful to his vow of celibacy, no matter what type of feelings he has.

I expect that "most Catholics," if they thought it through, would come to similar conclusions.

Have you ever heard of Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies? It sounds like something someone made up to appear like an "expert".
