'Anglo-Saxon' problem

Since when does homosexuality and a relaxation of morals have anything to do with being Anglo-Saxon?

The article doesn't mention the larger dissenting picture, either.

Liberal Roman Catholics have argued that the scandal was caused by too much emphasis on hierarchy and the priesthood, and that the answer is to ordain women and end compulsory celibacy.

But this is their answer to everything.

I think it is just that the dissent problem, while not exclusive to them, seems to be centered in the English-speaking countries.

Don't you remember the French prime minister (woman) who had to resign because she said that homosexuality was an Anglo-Saxon disease? And she was a socailost, the ex-girl friend of Mitterand. Mike Wallace was outraged.

There was an infamous gang of homosexuals in the British Foreign Service,I think they were busy during WWII and were outed 30 some years ago. Kim Philby was one of the names I recall and then maybe an Anthony Blount? They betrayed their country and several defected to Russia when they were discovered. At that time it was posited that the British Prep schools were training grounds for homosexuals and bi's.
