Without a doubt, you're right. There absolutely IS a push for acceptance of “gay and proud of it" within the Catholic Church. It's an international juggernaut, led by the likes of the German, Austrian and Dutch bishops in Europe, some Italians at the Vatican, the two bishops in Malta, and in the U.S. by Fr Jim Martin SJ., Bishop Bob McElroy in San Diego, Cardinal Cupich in Chicago et al.
There are rumors that Pope Francis is going to implement a "paradigm shift" on gays in a speech next week.

God help us if this is true. I truly believe that it would cause a schism, as a certain segment of faithful Catholics will NEVER accept "gay and proud of it" clergy or reclassification of homosexual acts as non-sinful. I put myself in the category of those who will never accept these things, Vatican and pope be damned.
For years there have been rumors that many diocese couldn’t staff their parishes without the deviants; too much of the priesthood is gay. It is time we returned to traveling preachers, selling off residences at three out of every four parishes; the Church is quickly shrinking here, and the overhead - especially to accommodate false priests, is crippling.
