“Younger priests influenced by conservative Vatican administrators in recent years “think celibacy is the crown jewel of the priesthood...”That’s nonsense.” A.W. Richard Sipe, a former Benedictine priest and retired psychotherapist in La Jolla”

That must sting...

Benedictine priest and retired psychotherapist

Listening to psychotherapists has given the Church nothing but trouble. Not so many years ago (certainly within my lifetime), psychotherapists were assuring Bishops that certain homosexual pederasts had been "cured" and could safely be returned to ministry ...

And the Bishops listened to them.

Gee ...

Look what that got us.
