"You don’t think it becomes well known in all orders of the priesthood, who is queer & who is not?"

No.

"And that some of these queers priests are promoted to higher positions of authority, despite common insider knowledge of their perverted inclinations?"

No, --- but if it does happen, it is in violation of Canon Law. Homosexual are not canonically eligible to be even seminarians, let alone clergy.

According to all the researchers (the John Jay study, Baylor University, Phillip Jenkins at University of Pennsylvania, the insurance companies that offer policies covering liability in abuse cases) Catholic clergy are not especially likely--- compared to other clergy --- to commit acts of sexual perversion; in other words, non-Catholic clergy are just as likely to. (You might want to spare 2 minutes to look at the evidence --- note that this evidence deals with criminal abuse, not just homosexuality per se..)

That being the case, I think you can see that this is a fair question: if sexual perversion were to be found among the leaders of your particular church, wouldn't it be in violation of whatever your internal rules or constitutions are?

Or should I just assume your church is promoting perversion?

But yet there's a known Queer Mafia (is that what they call it?) within the cardinals at the vatican...The straight ones, if there are any apparently are content to ignore it...
