And why would a homosexual become a priest? For the same reason he would become a summer camp activities director, a wrestling coach, a youth minister, a Boy Scout leader, a juvenile drug counselor, a sports league coordinator: because he's attracted to boys, and that's where he can find them.

And that's the cycle...Altar boy gets recruited into the lifestyle...Altar boy has much help getting into seminary...Seminary produces queer priest...Priest is on the lookout for an altar boy...Cycle complete...

Soon we will have a much bigger playing field with the Boyscouts...

I am not just picking on the Catholic religion...It's just that your religion has set itself up so that it's so easy, right under everyone's noses...

I have experience almost first hand...I was a member of an Evangelical youth group...We had a group leader, early twenties...Little did I know that the guy was as queer as a football bat...

The guy would take us on all kinds of events...Roller skating was a big one...

He would buy us cigarettes and alcohol and encourage the boys and girls to get a lot friendlier than Christian kids should ever get...

We were unaware that this leader was recruiting one of our good friend into his lifestyle...Started when the kid was about 13...

Unfortunalty, the friend died of AIDS while in his late twenties...

His recruiter is still alive and I have trouble with that, and all who recruit innocent young boys into the queer lifestyle...

As most of us know, (cf. Michael Rose's book, "Goodbye, Good Men") there were seminaries in the 1970's and '80's that were notorious for recruiting gays and driving away normal men. I knew of one in the early '70's --- the Duns Scotus Franciscan college/seminary in Southfield, MI --- which fell into the control of a network of queer priests. The place eventually went bust (sexual and financial rot often goes hand in hand) and the property and buildings were eventually sold to a group called "Word of Faith Christian Center International" --- some kind of denomination in and of themselves, it seems. So it looks like Duns Scotus got totally corrupt, and then totally disappeared as a Catholic entity.

I don't think there's a seminary in the country where that could happen now. Catholic seminaries now have a rather rigorous vetting process for candidates to the priesthood.

My husband and I had a friend who was a youth counselor at a non-denom rescue mission. Had a cute, vibrant, intelligent wife and two nice teenage children, too. Got sexual with some of the kids he was counseling, marriage broke up, kids put into a state of emotional chaos.

There's so much hurt and pain out there. It blows your mind when you find out about it.
