Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.
Thanks in advance.
First the Church needs to offload the light-in the-loafers priests. My kid's school has a barely touching the ground priest who has a poor dog he is always focused on. He is pathetic and the teens...about 600 of them are in stitches.
Now that's a man a young normal boy will want to emulate...
The biggest mistake that the Vatican can do, is to allow gays into the priesthood. They must look over their shoulders and into the past. History has shown, that gays have destroyed the Catholic church, and could care less. Better to have less, but more dedicated men, then a load of damaging perverts.

NOT!

Absolutely!!!
Thanks, you guys/gals?? are awesome!
Get rid of the gay subculture in the American priesthood, and perhaps we will see a huge increase in vocations...of real, holy, pure young men who will no longer feel there's no place for them in the lavender seminaries.
Archbishop Bruskewitz in the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska started getting LOTS of young men entering the Seminary in his Diocese. When asked why he thought they were willing to consider the priesthood, he replied "Because I asked them".
If the Catholic Church is going to survive, the Vatican must purge and turn things around. There can be no place for that behavior in our faith, and especially at the pulpit. So far, gays have done an excellent job at demolishing the Catholic church's finances, and credibility.
So true. How many of us do something for the first time only because we were asked to try it?
A bump for vocations!
I have 4 boys so far, I would love for one of them to dedicate their life to Christ through the priesthood!
I thought a son was headed that way also. Might be headed to the permanent diaconate instead.
When you have a secularized priesthood, an ignorant populace and an uninspiring liturgical life, what do you expect?
Improvement!
The pendulum of Catholic history has swung to the left and his coming back the other way. It is now a little bit to the right of dead center and going further right.
Have no doubts. I have been saying this for five years now.

Ouch!
Blessings upon you. We need more big families in this country. (I come from a family of 9 children.)
