[Gluteus Maximus]

I’m sorry to hear that your loved ones were victimized by perverts masquerading in the cloth, but Benedict XVI has made steps to rooting out the homosexual influence in the seminaries and elsewhere.

Thank you for your condolences.

The only "step" that has any hope of working is to require all new ordinations go exclusively to married men who are otherwise healthy. Only this can succeed in overrunning the entrenched Lavender Mafia and ousting them forever from power over the faithful.

Obviously it’s too late for many, but there are now guidelines back in place to cull perverts.

Far too little, far too late.

End the celibacy rule. It's the only way.

It is my understanding the the church of Rome instituted celibacy around the year 600 so that when a priest died his property would transfer to the church and not to his spouse. Perhaps if the Vatican could come up with a plan to address that they might allow marriages again.

Also, I have noted that when a priest is accused of sexual misconduct with a child, other priest conduct the investigation, and they take years to do that. But in non-catholic churches, the police are called in straight away.
