The idea of some massive witchhunt to root out gay priests who are observing the law of celibacy is absurd and is NOT going to happen.

Those who are already priests and are proven to be good and faithful should be left alone. But there is no need to let new homosexuals into seminaries. Especially that times are very corrupt and homosexuality is being promoted left and right. Being a priest is not a right or privilege, it is a service. The Catholic Church cannot afford more experimentation.

The Church can minister to homosexuals, as to any who suffer from an acute affliction. But you are right, A.Pole. The Church does not need homosexual priests. It has paid an unbelievable price in ruined lives, mental and physical anguish, a massive loss of trust and faith, among young and old alike. They couldn't have done worse if they'd tried.
