I appologize if anyone was offended. It was a long night. And the articles just got under my skin.

The point that I am trying to clarify is the fact that the gays our gaining ground quickly in recruiting not just within the catholic church, but they are gaining ground and acceptance in the protestants churches also.

And if we continue to stick our heads in the sand on this issue. One day when we do pull our heads out of the sand it will be to late. The gays will have not only won acceptence by a corrupt society they will have won accepted by the clergy in the catholic and protestant churches, which they are infiltrating. I have already seen a report posted that has many has 30% upto 60% of the catholic priest are gay, not including those that are symathic to their cause. Which one can only think the worse under these present circumstances.

What is happening to the catholic church is what will happen soon in the protestant churches as well. In fact it already underway.

May say this will not divide the church, and if that is so, I will stand alone no matter what!!

I think you are very wrong, and here is why. The Protestant churches gave way to secularlism and liberal theology long ago, some would argue (myself included), that in began in the 1930s, when the Protestant Churches gradually accepted Birth-Control as acceptable. Today, the doctrine of most mainline Protestant Churches are pro-gay everything. That is not the case in the Catholic Church. While certainly there are gay priests within the Catholic Church trying to destroy her, they are not affecting doctrine, which continues to be as it has been. While a large percentage of gay priests might exist, they have not destroyed the fundamental teachings of the Church, which exist for anyone who wishes to find them (they only make it more difficult to properly catechize people).

The Catholic Church is protected by the Holy Spirit, while corrupt and evil individuals might gain sway in leadership positions, they will be unable to affect the Doctrine and Teachings of the Church (that is one of the miracles of the Renaissance, all those horrible wicked popes (Alexander VI), yet Church doctrine was not changed by these men to accept for their lifestyles).

The Gay priests are a dying breed as well, if one looks at polls, surveys and info on the priesthood, one finds that the younger generation is much more Orthodox. They (the bad guys) had their day, they came incredibly close and will continue to fight, but the fight has turned against them, and in the end they will lose (demographics). To add to it, Christ and the Holy Spirit will protect the Church, and their machinations will not come to fruition. We have Christ's promise to Peter, "and the gates of the netherworld will not prevail against it."

God Bless
