A a former Episcopalian looking at the Roman Catholic Church, I can't help but believe that if you all got rid of all of the homosexuals and teachers of questionable theology that you would have a huge increase in vocations from Catholic heterosexual men who would be willing to pursue a celibate life -- if they weren't having to defend their virtue from predatory homosexual priests. Maybe I am wrong to comment about an internal matter for you, but you have a great Church and I absolutely believe that God would bless all of you with faithful priests if this rot and evil were to be plucked out.

I think your comment is precisely, 100% spot on, and I thank you for it.

Thanks for the *ping* Oxford! Wonderful article.

And I agree with you. I personally know of several wonderful men that left the seminary because they were in the heterosexual minority, one of them described it "like being in a gay bar" - this was in the late 70s. Such a waste!

There are a great number of "feminist nuns" - they need to be taken to task and taken out of positions of power and I think they should go back to the practice of wearing habits.

I cannot stomach it when I hear malcontents calling for the Church to "modernize" - Truth doesn't change for societal whims.

But, I truly know that the gates of Hell will not prevail, and so I am not worried, it will work out the way it is supposed to work out.
