The Catholic Church may have avoided the controversy, but not the gay problem. They have simply accepted it and keep it below the radar.

You can't possibly reach such a conclusion with any degree of certainty since you know as little of what goes on behind the scenes as the rest of us. In a political sense, you're entitled to your opinion, just like the rest of us. But considered absolutely, no one's entitled to slander.

But I can. A good friend of mine (unfortunately gay) had his education at a prominent Catholic University paid for, ostensibly because he would become a priest. After graduating he said "No, thanks" to the Church. He has been quite frank about the gay situation at that school and within other environs of the Church.

I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush. Of course there are good men studying for the priesthood. But, it's clear that the Church knows what's going on.
