(...”Good grief, you think this is not? It's a different category than today's political issues.”....)
No I don't think homosexuality and pedophilia is equally nonnegotiable to the Pope. History attests to that, let alone the current dragging his feet on ridding the church of these Priests and Bishops or whatever office they hold.
So no...it's not.
But as everything in the catholic faith, lets put it in another category or level, or splice and dice it and cover it with all means of cloaks and excuses until time has passed and “other” ‘safe’ political issues are on the hot seat.
The leadership throughout has failed and continues to fail....on THIS issue. Adding more bureaucratic levels of adherence's is not taking out the trash..once again.
Research the work of Pope Benedict before and after his election as pope. Research is work and rulings regarding those selected for the priesthood.
Consider who the homosexual lobby’s primary target and which Church remains the bulwark against them. [ This attack goes quite far back is concerted, organized and directed to destroy from within.) Consider which Church, almost alone, has remained firm against women priests and homosexual marriages (protection of marriage listed above.)
Consider who the media’s primary target is in tearing down the traditional family and acceptance of homosexuality as ‘normal.’
And then consider, those who join them in their effort. And pray about whether you wish to be among them.
