I am privileged to be served by several priests from Africa. They serve as chaplains to private schools and institutions in my community while they are studying full time for advanced degrees at local universities and then they will reurn to Africa. They are the most devout and holy priests I know and have so much to teach us about following Jesus. It is a beautiful thing to see Western missionary activity of the past in Africa now bearing fruit back here in the USA. Africa is now evangelizing us! Many of us are grateful to be served by priests who are doctrinally sound and holy men - a welcome respite from the insanity of many clergy in the US.

Amen! The result of a massive purge of homosexuals from the priesthood would not be hour drives to receive the sacrements, as Sinkspur claims. It would mean that the US would become a mission country served by priests from Africa, India and the Far East. Personally, I would much prefer this course to our present situation or part-time married clergy.
