Did I miss something, or was that whole article based on the conduct of three priests?
Three? Really?
Does anyone know how many priests there are in Rome? Any other group of that size would be doing very well to claim only three sodomites among their numbers.
The Vatican says that the offending priests from Abbates story will be sought out and stripped of their collars. Cardinal Agostino Vallini, head of the Rome diocese, is in charge of purging the offending clerics, and he has called on all gay priests who cannot respect the basic tenet of celibacy to get out of the priesthood. Priests who are living a double life have not understood what the Catholic priesthood is and should not have become priests, he said in a statement responding to the Panorama expose. Consistency demands that they be discovered. We do not wish them ill, but we cannot accept that because of their behavior the honor of all the other priests is dragged through the mud.Yes, that's quote the same thing as the Presbyterians ordaining open, practicing homosexuals. (/sarcasm)

They should be allowed to marry.
There were a lot of Puerto Ricans I served with in the Army. You should let them know how you feel about Catholics. They could give you some free dental work.
