"How come the newsmedia never reports on all of the good things hundreds of thousands of priests do everyday? I know a priest who was just sent to the Middle East. He is a handsome young guy who just wants to serve Our Lord and our country."

Well thats very commendable.. but you don't KNOW that to be the case.. I'm not saying he isn't a dedicated priest..but you do not know. The priests here in my area that were pedophiles were respected. Parishoners believed they were godly men serving our Lord but they were abusing the parish children. This is a very SERIOUS problem. Open your eyes admit their IS a problem and deal with it instead of trying to make excuses. ALL priests aren't pedophiles or gay.. I know some that are not.. and several who left the priesthood to marry and raise families. And I know one monk who lived in a monestary for many years. His comment regarding gays there.. that it is rampant. SO I am not saying the Catholic church is BAD what I am saying is LOOK directly at the problem, admit there IS a problem and DO something about it.

Amen! Don't let Homos be priests and don't let the homos be Boy Scout Leaders....it's NO different. It's like a Fox in a hen house.

Homosexuality and the acceptance of it will be our downfall along with abortion.
