Just in case you missed it: Ordaining your precious "chaste" sodomites to the priesthood is like stacking boxes of dynamte, nitroglycern and blasting caps in a daycare center and saying, "It's no danger! None of these bombs have gone off yet!"

Such, sexually/mentally/siritually disordered adults have stistically PROVEN themselves to be a grave danger to children. Just because the bombs have not yet gone off does not make them any less dangerous.

What sort of man wants to put children at risk? What sort of man approves of the defiance of the canon laws of the Church? I am struggling to believe that you mean well, but your support of the unsupportable and other things you have posted (i.e. "Rome is the Problem.") make that belief impossible.

(sigh)

Ping, and re-ping.

I never did that, of course, but, as master of straw men, you'll set one up so you can blast me for something I never said.

If you want to get all the celibate homosexuals out of the priesthood, you just go right ahead and do it. It won't bother me in the least.

Oh, but let us know how you're going to do this. If they "lied" to get in, they'll "lie" to stay, and it takes a canonical trial to force a man out of the priesthood against his will.
