[Antoninus]

The cardinal's views reflect an antipathy toward homosexuality that is found in the Catholic catechism, but his statements about banning even celibate gay priests surprised most of the 14 Catholic theologians and other experts contacted for comment. Two of the 14 voiced support.

The 12 who voiced dissent should be placed under interdict and forbidden from teaching in Catholic universities. When things like that start happening, we'll know that progress is being made. As it stands now, Cardinal Bevilacqua is a lone, courageous voice of TRUTH amid a chorus of "whitened sephulcres."

Dear Lord, purge your Church! Bind up the weeds to be burned!

As it stands now, Cardinal Bevilacqua is a lone, courageous voice of TRUTH amid a chorus of "whitened sephulcres."

Oh, for heaven's sake! Because no other cardinal or bishop is voicing the same thing Bevilacqua is, they are "whitened sepulchres"?

Bevilacqua's the only man in the band making up his own moves, so this means everybody ELSE is out of step?

Wanna lay a bet that his formulation is not part of the statement from the June meeting?
