Are you really so naive? Imagine a few years in a close knit seminary with 50% of homosexuals. Can you imagine co-ed monastery? Homosexuals can struggle with their addiction as laymen (as believing drug addicts and alcoholics do). If they are really cured then can marry (with a woman that is) if not they should stay away from young men. There are many more other vocations or professions than priests.

Even with men and women, you usually have pairs that form. With homosexuals, it's just sex all the time. Putting a whole lot of homosexual men together in close quarters is a recipe for wanton and unrestrained (and filthy and depraved) sexual behavior. Putting them around teenage boys is a recipe for ruined innocent lives. Those priests who are active homosexual (what, 1/3 of the priesthood?) have no business being around my sons, ever.

This is the best description of the """GAY""" """PROBLEM""" in the church I've read. Note the use of quotes because it goes much deeper than Gay sex.

How about Ted Kennedy and all the crap he's pulled off.

It is the American Bishops!

I can't imagine what it's like to be in your shoes. That is, Catholic with boys in the church. I think it's great that you're speaking your mind on the subject, which probably means more to some folks than a non Catholic Christian like myself speaking out on the issue.
