But they didn't Christine...because most Catholics and I suspect most Americans, have the moral clarity of those who applauded after, but are too scared of being pegged as a homophobe in thier jobs, lives, etc to actually come out and say what the Msgr did.

100% correct
Fathers and mothers have been cowed into abandoning the protection of their children
And the wimps in business are leading the charge with their extending benefits to homosexual couples etc etc
And the media is on the side of the homosexuals

***WARNING***
Things are already in place for using the threat of HATE CRIME SPEECH against those who woulod dare take a public stand against this situation

One of my liberal friends always says this wouldn't happen if priests could marry. I always ask the same question, If they could marry, how would that change the fact that an adult is molesting somone of the same gender? Somone who is underage, and not allowed to marry anyway? and how come the vast majority of these cases always seem male to underage male? If gay priests are the ones doing these deviant acts, then why not just say it? or is being gay somehow been redefined in some P.C. way that makes these priests somehow straight?

Re #29 - you are so right to bring up that point. This priest would be serving time if he dared speak such truth from a Canadian pulpit. Coming soon to our town?

To which the Apostle Paul (writing under the direction of the LORD's Holy Spirit) replies, writing almost 2000 years ago:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Romans 1:18-32

God, speaking through the Apostle Paul has weighed in on this matter. Perhaps we should listen. Perhaps we should choose to trust Him and stand for what is right. Sure it's scary, but we need to remember

Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not look anxiously about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my right hand. -- Isaiah 41:10

Or the words to Joshua who was confronted with a scary underaking for the LORD:

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
