This non-Catholic says "Thank Heaven for good men." May the Lord strengthen them to endure the attacks that are sure to follow.
I watched a video tape in the early 1980's which featured an elderly Benedictine priest warning that American seminaries had been infiltrated by homosexuals. At the time I thought he was a little extreme. I don't think that anymore.
I hope there are enough members of the Church hierarchy remaining who have the gumption to root out these perverts in spite of the howls that will spew from their fellow travelers on the left. Its sink or swim time for the Church.
**Fr. Fessio pointed to a directive issued by Pope John XXIII in 1961 which said that ordination "should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers."**
Finally Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II are being vindicated!
The day that candidacy for the priesthood of the Catholic Church becomes a matter of 'civil' rights in the USA is the day we go undergorund. The catacombs beckon.

Reasonable and good article about the Catholic Church and homosexuals in its midst.

Hello??
That is one poweful stat and it needs to be used as a tool with which to incessantly belt the homosexual lobby in the upcoming battles over the Vatican's stance.
Did you see the absurd response from a PRIEST on the CNA website?

"Is the Vatican purposely blurring the line between homosexuality and pedo/ephebofilia?
Pedophiles have sex indiscriminately with both boys and girls. If 80% of cases involve boys, it's because of their greater availability not because they were perpetrated by gay priests or seminarians."
(I sent in my own response refuting this "availability" theory so popular with liberals, social workers, and gay groups. Weird how they twist things. Not sure if CNA will print my reply on the site; I tried to set this priest straight, he knows better as an insider that it's not true. Maybe he's gay himself, why else take this obviously convuluted viewpoint?)
For some serious, scientific explanations, fyi:

The Pope is getting tough.........and the gay "angst" is enough to make you sick.
Unless Father Fessio was making a mildly risque' joke (which I wouldn't put past him :-), this should be "deep-seated," which would also be rather dirty, in the context.
The writer should have got his Unabridged Dictionary out and chosen another adjective.
There's more to the reasons for excluding certain groups than sexual practices. That's one thing that doesn't seem to penetrate these arguments.

Looks like I missed this one. Excellent angle - the idiotic craziness of calling Same Sex Attraction a "gift from God". Justifying it like that is a sign of horrible spiritual sickness.
