And how many of these queer recruits were coached as altar boys by other queer priests??? What a creepy organization...
Before you condemn that “organization,” consider its size, its endurance, and the fact that is it the largest giver of charity, by far, in the world. A wayward seminary here or there does not invalidate the integrity of so many others, such as the huge bastions of dedicated postulants I have seen for myaelf in Catholic Poland. The Church is a very large house.
Nothing new. Several years before the “95 Theses” in the early 1500s, Martin Luther was sent to Rome as part of an official delegation from his monastery. Rome, by which I mean the part of the city affiliated with the Vatican, was a cesspool even (or especially) then—500 years ago.
A pope at the time had taken Aquinas’ advice on allowing prostitution literally—and was running houses of prostitutes especially for priests. Of course at that time indulgences and relics were huge money makers too...(Michelangelo—in that exact time period—was paid with indulgence money, actually).
Concerned Christians have ALWAYS wanted to be reformers...but usually stifled by the system.
