So you believe that chronic suppression of a normal, essential human characteristic is in the final analysis a good thing and that a priestly order that has devolved into a predominantly homosexual cabal is an inspiration to the Catholic faithful and advances and enhances the Catholic faith. Not to say that the Jesuits were not once great, but to quote the colloquial expression “Just look at them now”. Nothing more deluded than a Catholic parent that sends their kid to a Jesuit college “for a good Catholic education”. Sadly do not know even one practicing Catholic parent that would trust his or her child alone with a priest.This situation cannot continue.

The Church is 2000 years old. They've done their homework. There are 1.2 billion Catholics to date. Jesus's Church has survived. I wonder how YOU can KNOW without a doubt that the world priesthood is a "predominantly homosexual cabal."
Jesus had to use ordinary men, like St. Peter, who admitted that he was a sinful man.

That you do not know even one practicing Catholic parent that would trust his or her child alone with a priest is IMMENSELY sad for you and them.
I am VERY SORRY for all of you. What a way to live.

Pax Vobis!

I'm not sure you are understanding Cloudmountain's post.

For a lot of men over the centuries, it has not involved 'suppression'. There have been men - and women - who are simply naturally suited to that life. (Believe it or not, there are actually individuals born - and there have always been - who are concentrated on more than the influences of their hormones.)

The problem is that they are few, in any generation; and the priesthood has become a haven for much larger numbers, including a lot of deviants.
