Thank you for your post. One of the problems in the Seminaries I have heard (since I am not in any seminary) is the predominately Gay Culture that exists and needs to be dealt with. Active priests of any stripe (homosexual or heterosexual should not be in the priesthood). That being said, I am certainly conflicted. I do not believe merely being homosexual is a sin, but like my church acting upon it is. In that light, I have no problem if the Church had ordained gay celibate priests. If they can control and never ever act on their urges and teach Catholic Doctorine as the Vatican sees it, I have no problem with gay priests. That being said, it isn't easy to find a gay priest that fits taht description, but there could be one or two out there.

Thanks. When I received this piece to post on TWD yesterday I was once agained amazed at the issues that this man is willing to take on. Basically, he says what everyone else can't or won't. His very first article proves it in the title alone "Instead of Reparations, How About a Ticket Back to Africa?"

I'm not a man to push for any particular group but if you support any group this year, support BOND.

I still find is astounding that those who practice the disgusting behavior of homosexual sex or seeking to achieve orgasms with someone of the same sex would HIDE behind the name of God. Would feign religious piety in order to command the authority as a priest; crushing trusting vulnerable young men who happen to attend whatever church with their sick sexual advances. Talk about homosexuals stalking out jobs that open up a veritable buffet table of little boy bodies for them to suck the life out of. Horrible. Using God's name as their COVER, these mentally sick filthy creeps have found a place with an unlimited supply of little boys upon which they relieve their corrupt desires. Pathetic. And you BET it is HOMOSEXUAL. These 'sad' (as opposed to 'gay', which is dishonest and an extremely pathetic PC term for homosexuals) dirty, filthy, lecherous, sniveling jerks should ALL BE THROWN IN JAIL. At least there they can mix it up with other ADULTS and cannot prey on little ones.

I have no problem if the Church had ordained gay celibate priests.

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.
