Has homosexuality become the third rail in today's America Church. Are gays become so powerfully placed that the bishops are frightened of them? I am going to attend a seminar in Irving on Friday and I hope that I get a chance to pose that question to the panel--which includes Rose--about this. Of course, I don't know what format they will be using.

Yes. In addition I would suggest that anyone in the church who dodges the homosexual question as Flynn just did is a homosexual himself or is being blackmailed by homosexuals for other behavior.

"Are gays become so powerfully placed that the bishops are frightened of them?"

The way "Archbishop" Flynn looked when he punted Koppel's question about the role of homosexuality in the scandals, one is forced to conclude that the poor bishop is either mentally retarded, psychotic, suffering from a head injury, on an overdose of LSD, afraid of the political pressure of homos, or a homo himself.

You are so lucky that you'll get to hear Michael Rose speak. Maryz posted a radio interview he did here in Boston - he sounds very well versed in the problems of homosexuality in the Church. I wish the Bishops would attend that function and not waste their time like it appears they will be doing on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

I think it is a combo of problems. I think some of the Bishops are gay, most are guilty of some kind of cover-up and all are friends with those guilty of one or the other sins listed above. They'd rather compromise the Church than come clean and get rid of their sinning "friends." It is indeed a network. And anyone who doesn't come forth and be honest is guilty.

Not frightened -- sympathetic is a better word. They either are homosexual themselves -- there's not a few of them -- or they support the homosexual agenda. Certainly not all, but a good portion of them.
