but as a serious issue this goes back many decades, even hundreds of years. Yesterday someone quoted Luther as having referred to 'bishops satisfied with just the love of a woman anre worshipped as gods' -- implying there was a serious problem with homosexuality in the clergy even then.

Hierarchies accountable to no one but themselves are breeding grounds for corruption. Apparently, according to an article posted yesterday, the Anglican Church in Canada is on the verge of bankruptcy because of pedophilia cover-ups, and the Australian Anglican Church is being rocked with new revelations there.

A profession that allows trusting relationships with young people is going to have to be put on notice that it cannot, ever again, be allowed to supervise itself.

I am baffled. Everything I read in the Catechism,everything I read from the Pope and his Magisterium leads me to know that the problem has nothing to do with the Truth as taught by the Church Christ established. I think its more likely the result of the lay and the clergy who garble the message in order to minimize the "cognitive/disonance" they experience when they don't practice what they preach.

Since they want to continue in sin its easier to change the words of the gospel,teach error rather than truth,focus on a community meal rather than the eternal sacrifice and in all ways seek to form a god to their liking.This of course leads to excactly what we now have,a big scandal because of man's disobedience driven by his appetites and abetted by the modern world which says "you can have it all".

I am with the many of these threads that say,no matter how much it hurts the boil has been lanced and it must be drained and disinfected. I believe this is going to bring forth a great reawakening in Christianity in the world and I am looking forward to it.The faster the better.
