My father was educated in Catholic Schools his whole life. Graduated from Boston College. Typical Irish Catholic from Boston, one of 6 kids. Wanted to become a priest. Actually entered the seminary but quit (good for me) because he said, and I quote, “everyone there was gay.”

My mom’s first cousin who also graduated BC, did become a priest. Yup he’s gay and has had the same “partner” for 20 years.

Anecdotal yes, but true. I’ve never been comfortable around any priest.

Two bad apples cannot condemn the entire Catholic Church or the entire lot of priests.

As I said, straight young men are now flocking to the seminaries.

Please catch up on the news of today. Or do you prefer to live in yesteryear?
