Well, everybody is still talking about homosexual Catholic priests, but most of them have been booted out now. The real trouble was back in the 80s.

But nobody's done a thing about the homosexual Episcopal priests, and believe me there are plenty of them.

(I'm reading between the lines here - lifelong bachelor, plastic surgery, some people were "creeped out" by him, and he spent some of that stolen money on unspecified "clubs". They don't say it, but that's the way to bet.)

About 2 years after we left the Episcopal church, our former rector was found to have stolen a bunch of church money.

Well, the Houston priest whose body was just found in Nuevo Larado was apparently killed by the housekeeper at his Mexican home. On the TV news (but I can't find it online) the housekeeper said that he killed the priest when the priest tried to end their relationship. So it looks like there are still a few out there, with more clean up needed.

I was thinking he is either unsexual (narcissists often are: sex is messy) or pays for sexual favours of a varied nature.

Most of them booted out? Unfortunately not.

I have no problem with a priest who is gay as long as they behave themselves.

If they’re booted out they end up on welfare. What is a 55 year old former priest to do for a living.
