The direction not to ordain priests with a "deep seated homosexual tendency" has been repeated (the ordinations prior to that were contrary to canon anyway) and today homosexuality actual or latent is a real bar toward ordination. The Holy Inquisition is here: there was a review done of the Catholic seminaries; the orders with incidents of abuse and under modernist influences have been suppressed; the church is returning to orthodoxy. I wish these processes were faster and more resolute, but progress has been unmistakable such as it is.

Big deal, so the church doesn't knowingly ordain homosexual priests. So what does it do when it finds out about them?

Oh yeah, once a priest, always a priest.

That is because we are the real Church founded by Christ: always young and always reforming.

Say WHAT?!?!?! I thought reformation was bad. How can it be being reformed? That'w what they kicked Luther out for wanting to do.

We are doing just fine.

Yeah, that's real obvious /heavy sarcasm

You know that how? I don't know about your religion but mine abhors slander. The sex abuse epidemic peaked after quite unfortunate attempt to Protestantize the Church after the Second Vatican Council; the attempt failed and the abuse is largely gone by now.

Here, posted by one of your own, one good Catholic who is speaking out against this atrocity.

The real culprit in this is the sexual liberation that started by the so-called reformation. It is Luther who desecrated the monasteries and fornicated with nuns. Don't like it -- get rid of the Protestant heresies that shaped the modern world in Satan's image.

FOTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every evil of the world was started with the Protestant Revolution, eh??????

That's a good one. Thanks for the laugh.

As long as Catholics live in denial about their past, they will never be in touch with the reality of the present either and therefore NOTHING will ever change.

So what does it do when it finds out about them?

Maybe its like public schools and child molesters? Quietly move them to a different school district and pay off the victims. hush hush.

So what does it do when it finds out about them?

When a priest is found out he is laicized: removed from active service of any kind. He has the ability to say a Mass privately, as he remains a priest.

That is a lengthy thread; what exactly, is there to support your accusation that there was "rampant" abuse in the Catohlic Chuuch "for a thousand years"?

Every evil of the world was started with the Protestant Revolution, eh?

Sexual morality was significantly relaxed by the so-called reformation. I mentioned Luther fornicating with nuns, but generally the Protestant Reformation brought about, gradually, liberalization of divorce and remarriage, use of contraception, and today, some Protestant denominations endorse abortion.

"Oh yeah, once a priest, always a priest."

It seems that Donatism is yet another heresy alive and well within Protestantism.

Peace be with you.
