Did this DVD mention that Rome said back in the early 1960's that homosexuals, even chaste ones, were not to be ordained to the priesthood ... and the American bishops ignored that directive?

Do you really believe that Rome choosing not to enforce its directives on the American Bishops somehow absolves Rome of any responsibility?

It doesn't. It makes Rome even MORE culpable.

If the American bishops can ignore the directives of the Vatican magisterium on a matter as important as this, then why should the people in the pews trust either of them with matters of even greater importance?
