In retrospect, it was poor judgement (IMVVHO) to dismiss any priest or religious who married after V II.

Married men obviously would not prevent homosexual liasons. But if the ten thousand or more Catholic heterosexual priests who left the priesthood because they married a woman were still priests (or, by now, seminary directors and bishops), the overwhelming influence of gay priests would be both lessened and more in th open when and where it occurred.

Agree. Pedophilia is Pedophilia married or not. That's a very silly argument.

Figure it out.
Homosexuality is known to thrive in prisons situations where men are deprived of normal heterosexual relationships.

Normal sex drives plus lack of normal sexual relationships tends to result in abnormal sexual behavior.
