Their ‘selling’ point is to convince the general public that the majority would marry up to the opposite sex. But in reality, wouldn’t shock me if it were about 80-percent male-to-male marriages. If that were the case, a lot of parishioners would be shocked and drop out of the religion over the next decade.
Also, not dig deep into this....if you did say marriages were possible...if the 50-year old male Bishop married up a 18-year old guy...would it bother people?
Sadly, you’re 100% right. The end-game for these guys is *same-sex-married* clergy. They’re for married clergy. They’re for sodomy “marriage.” Do the math.
Some Catholics will likely scoff at this prediction as absurd. ... just as some of the Anglican/Episcopalian/Presbyterian/etc. laity too would have scoffed at the idea 50 years ago. And now that’s exactly what they’ve got.
