Noting that in his Good Friday homily soon-to-be pope Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger condemned the "filth there is in the church," Wheeler believes the pontiff "will not tolerate [homosexuality's] presence in his church."

It was really great.
The cool thing about Bendict XVI is that he knows where the bodies are buried.
JP II spent his entire life in Poland, where his entire pastoral struggle was against communism.
Thus, he tended to trust the Church in the West.
Benedict on the other hand has for more than twenty years recieved complaints and documents concerning AMChurch etc...
He knows what the real deal is.
Hope he does the right thing.
Excellent point!
That was Father Corapi, he is about the best Catholic preacher in America today.
The anti-catholic bend of the past is long gone.
If anything, i expect to see "resignations" which were encouraged by the church officials.
The homosexuals will not go easily.

So sorry...I hate to doublepost. I actually checked the article title and got no results. But I now realize that I had accidentally set the search to "by poster"...carelessness on my part.
As unpleasant as the topic is to think about, there is a logic to your post. From what I have heard of pedophilia there is indeeda concept of a child being "too old" while till a child. And I have frequently wondered why we never hear of girls being abused.
Whatever it is, or is called, of course it has to be rooted out.
But knowing and naming the problem also helps make sure the correct tools are used to fight it.
Children are at stake. That's the important thing.
" He did so because accusing someone of homosexuality was a standard practice of the Communist government in his native Poland regarding anyone it regarded as an enemy of the state. From his ordination as a Catholic priest in 1946 to elevation to Archbishop of Krakow in 1963 and Cardinal in 1967, the then Karol Wojtyla witnessed this personal destruction repeatedly. So traumatized, he summarily dismissed such accusations as pope, and would approve the elevation of anyone so accused."
I can understand John Paul's denial. I had not idea that such practices existed until I went to art college in 1973 and so the just 'coming out' gay population of Philadelphia parading down 15th street. Even so, I still am completely appalled at what the whole perversion involves. I went on to go to a school in Berkeley where I took a print class where I turned out to be the only 'straight' person enrolled, I got along fine, and I guess that the subject never came up because in many ways, because sexuality is not my normal venue for relating to others they didn't bring the subject up ~ until I saw their worked printed.
There I am in a secular world, and Papa John Paul was always surrounded by people like himself, who were working to do the best thing possible, or fighting against the evil guys, who also agreed that homosexuality was a terrible perversion.
Amen! He is great.
Wow i think that will be great! I remember Latin masses, barely, but I do remember them. I always loved them and wish they would bring them back.
good points but never forget the homosexual lobby is trying to say that the male on male sex was not homosexuality.
The problem is its NOT JUST THE PRIESTS.. that's what I am saying.. the Church decided to make a deal with the devil when it dropped the ban on Homosexuals in the priesthood.... They modified it to be, ok as long as they weren't active and practicing.. and this change allowed them in the door, now more than a generation later, they are not only in the church, but they have turned many diocese into their own bath houses. Actively recruiting young gays, trading sexual favors for position and clout, covering up for one another etc etc. Any that speak out against them are pushed off into the boondocks and forgotten.
Now not all Diocese are this bad, but trust me, some are and most lay Catholics have no idea how bad some of them are. Its no longer just a gay priest here and there, they are in positions of power, appointing or refusing appointments based on favors and things.
The purge that needs to happen in some of these diocese are massive in scope... and the church needs to return to banning homosexuals from serving in the priesthood period. This "enlightened' move to remove the ban threatens the very foundations of the church... It must be stopped and the blackness must be rooted out.
Tell me about your motorcycle priest...
NO PROBLEM!! :) I will post it again in a couple of hours. Just kidding LOL. I can't get enough of good news.
