What is wrong and sinful, is wrong and sinful. I do not discourage the posting of this kind of thread; this is obviously sensationalized but there is a truth to this that needs exposing. Thank you for posting this.
Whoever posted this is obviously in the employ of the left. If anybody reads the whole article (which I doubt most people did), it ends up with a declaration that gays should be priests and that Rome is being insanely hostile and old-fashioned by not permitting this.
No sin ever going to be stopped all the way. The Devil goes about like a roaring lion, and sin enters anywhere it can. During the 1960s and 70s, the authority structure of the Church broke down, and a lot of these people got into the priesthood at that time and then rose through the ranks and, like all gays, promoted the brotherhood.
This is a bad thing and the Church knows it and has been trying to stop it for years. JPII was a lousy administrator, although even he managed to get some procedures in place for reviewing seminaries and religious orders. However, BXVI has done a lot, and he’s the one that Newsweek is trying to stop.
