All the evidence suggests that too many gays equals trouble.

Active gays, I would agree.

You've got lots of celibate gays in the priesthood now. That is a fact.

Is that trouble?

(There have ALWAYS been gays in the priesthood, some active, most not.)

There have always been lechers in the priesthood, but I you take the attitude that--oh, well, they've changed--then yopu are buying trouble. I believing in "tipping points " if you havbe up to a certain percentage of people who exhibit certain nehavior, then they are tolerable. Beyond that, and you change the dynamics of the group. I few thungs in a basketball league, and you can handle them; too many and get get riots. When the priests who prefered mem were few AND stayed deeply in the closet, then no problem. But now they have have become numberous and are openly gay or suspiciously tolerant of open gay behavior, and we do have a problem: too many pederasts! It's like we had too many alcoholic priests and we let them drive buses full of kids.
