I have never heard the word hell in a homily in my whole life. I have never heard the word homosexual in a homily in my whole life. I have never heard the word fornication in a homily in my whole life. I have never heard the word adultery in a homily in my whole life. I have never heard the word contraception in a homily in my whole life. I have never heard the word divorce in a homily in my whole life. This, despite the fact that homosexuality is one of the immense issues of our time, that kids are bombarded every day by sexually tinged messages which promote pre-marital sex. Divorce is extremely commonplace. Etc. Etc. I just want a parish where comprehensive and complete Catholicism is preached and taught. Shouldn't be too much to ask, one would think.
You and a whole lot of others. But it's not the most recently ordained priests who refuse to speak out. It's the ones who decided back in the '70s that (a) they no longer believed in the "old" teachings and that (b) they were going to stay in the priesthood nonetheless. In my experience, some of these people are very caring pastors, but they are depriving the people in the pews of a real understanding of what the Church teaches--and, when it comes to evil, it is NOT "tolerance."
