There are two types of Catholics on FR: Those that are in DENIAL about the disproportionate number of homosexual clergy and also see priests as near saintlike, rather than as just human beings, and those who are PISSED OFF and want them flushed out of their church.
Bzzzzzt. Assuming facts not in evidence. Ten yard penalty...repeat the down.
I’m not defending homosexuals in the clergy, especially active ones or those who embrace the gay ideology instead of the Catholic teachings on morality. I’m just objecting to the way certain Protestants on FR seem to revel in posting news items that puts the Catholic Church in a bad light. I feel the same way about foreigners’ criticizing America — there’s plenty about American culture that I often criticize, but it sticks in my craw hearing Europeans or other foreigners criticize my homeland.
