In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The purpose of the press is to let the truth be known to the people. But having seen report after report of the sex scandal in the Catholic Church, I am sorry to say that yet again the media is failing us by refusing to tell us that the primary problem within the church is an epidemic of homosexual priests. We know that most victims of these crimes are young boys, and the perpetrators are grown men—why is it so hard to say that this epidemic is a direct result of homosexuals being given authority that they should not have?
We’ve heard for some time now about priests who are openly homosexual, but apparently few within the Church seemed to see a need to resolve this issue. It’s even more troubling, then, that the media is so unwilling to report something that has long been known. Of course we know that the media is basically liberal, and has the intent of promoting a biased agenda. But you’d think that at least some would have the good sense to report honestly when the physical and psychological safety of so many children are at stake.
If the media, the most far-reaching informational source, refuse to accurately report this predominantly homosexual scandal, then the truth is being concealed and this problem may never be resolved. If something isn’t done, homosexuals will continue to gain authority over our children and country, and the effects will be disastrous.

Homosexual acts, yes. One must distinguish between acts and orientation.
I understand that, but these are temporary conditions or conditions that onset later in life. I'm not aware of any humans who don't develop or experience libido at some time in their lives.
I accept the churches teaching that the "tendency" is not sinful..but I think the head thoughts sure are...but then we are all sinners saved by grace..even the homosexuals..
Sink I just do not want active homosexuals in the ministry period (and I do not care what church we are talking about!)
I do not know how the RC church or any church does this...but for the safety of the children and the name of Chrsit they must
The same goes for the public schools, such as Fairfax High School here in Los Angeles, which many years back adopted a program called “Project 10”, which encouraged kids to live as homosexuals openly and freely. The indoctrination of young, innocent minds by homosexual teachers goes against a child’s conscience and innocence and is contrary to the teachings of most parents.
Anyone remember watching C-SPAN in April of 1993 when they carried the Gay March on Washington? Here is the list of 10 Platform demands they were seeking at the time:
2.) Lower the age-of-consent for homosexual and heterosexual sex.
3.) Implementation of homosexual, bisexual and transgendered curriculum at all levels of education.
4.)Legalization of homosexual marriages.
5.) Custody, adoption and foster care rights for homosexual, lesbians and transgendered people; re-definition of family to include the full diversity of all family structures.
6.) Access to all programs of the Boy Scouts of America.
7.) Affirmative action for homosexuals and lesbians.
8.) Inclusion of sex-change operations under a universal health care plan.
9.) Abortion on demand for all people, without restriction and regardless of age.
10.) A national needle exchange program.
I like that! Thanks! I'm going to use it from now on. SAD sure makes more sense to me than "gay."
Amen!
Christ died to pay the penalty for our sins, and to free us from sin. NOT to continue to party like its 1999.
Organizations like "Dignity USA" treat the crucified Christ as a Get Out of Jail Free card rather than as a Savior. And as far as that annoying scripture in Leviticus Chapter 18 ------ahhhh, well, ummmmmmmmm, I guess God does not mean what He says.
Imagine trying to be celibate while living in a women's dormitory for seven years.
That's why Pope John XXIII said that homosexuals should not be allowed to enter the seminary.
Matthew 19:12I don't know if this necessarily represents a rescinding of the command in Genesis, but it certainly indicates that celibacy is a gift for those able to receive it."For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."
I also believe that temple priests were celibate, at least for certain periods of time.
Most Catholics practice contraception. Why? One reason is that most Catholics don't understand the reason for the Church's teaching, partly because the subject is rarely preached. Another reason is that Catholics can be selfish, just like everyone else. A new car or a new baby? Hmmm....
It's very sad when you think about it. Especially when you consider that God allows us to play a part in bringing eternal souls into the world. Or not. I wonder what He thinks of our excuses?
