>> The “gutsy move” was meant to mirror what you’ve said.

How so? I have not made any generalizations about Catholics or even Catholic priests. I have simply said that the doctrine of priestly celibacy can lead the priesthood to be a good safehaven for Christian men with homosexual proclivities.

>> It’s obvious that you just want to goad me (and everyone else that has disagreed with you on this thread) ...

Nonsense. I had several very reasonable conversations in this thread with several individuals that were less sensitive and less prone to throwing around insults than you appear to be.

>> so I’ll just leave you alone.

Much obliged.

You don’t think “the doctrine of priestly celibacy can lead the priesthood to be a good safehaven for Christian men with homosexual proclivities” isn’t a generalization? Just so that we’re clear, it is. You’ve had several reasonable conversations with people you agree with or can share sarcastic comments with. When I made statements about divisions you made it about homosexual priests. I was addressing your flawed assumptions about priests and the priesthood in general. The fact that you continue to do so makes me regret saying I was done. I’m not.
