It seems blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.

Bingo! That's the only reason I posted this article. While I respect the church and its traditions, it's clear to me that the current Pope needs to resign and that they need to allow priests to marry so they can clean house of homosexuals and pedophiles.

No it isn’t obvious....

4000 Protestants church leaders are exiled annually for Dilldallying with their Flock....Male and female..

It seems blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.

Until fairly recently it was very unchic...shameful...to be homosexual.It was something to be hidden.Given that a homosexual couldn't get "married" until a few years ago and couldn't "come out" until 10-20 years ago the priesthood was one of the "logical" places places for a Catholic male homosexual to go...particularly the ones who liked boys.

Today,homosexuals can live openly,*proudly*,get "married",adopt kids,find young boys on the internet.No need for any of them to enter the priesthood.Couple that with the fact that normal men just can't agree to live without a woman's companionship *for life* you understand why the typical seminary in this country (and,perhaps,Europe as well) is ordaining one or two priests a year.

If we don't allow priests to marry....*soon*...priests of *any* "persuasion" will be scarcer than hens' teeth.

Within *our* lifetimes!

WRONGO....there are THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of GOOD, DECENT PRIESTS......I hope you were KIDDING!!

Either it’s blatantly obvious, or it seems to be the case.

No doubt other vocations include a fair share homosexuals and pedophiles.

“It seems blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.’

The public schools with their teachers aren’t doing so hot in this regard and they can marry all they like.

It seems blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.

Sure. Because the homosexuals want to take down the Church from the inside. That has been the plan for some time now.

BTW, I never trust anyone with the word "conservative" in their screen-name. It reeks of trolldom.

**blatantly obvious that the Catholic church environment attracts homosexuals and pedophiles into their priesthood.**

This is not true.

Seminarians now undergo a series of tests and interviews that would daunt the average career seeker.

It has been cleaned up. Do you know that there were more sexual attacks in public schools and in Protestant churches than in the Catholic Church last year?

Now stop believing the NYSlimes!
