How have I bashed the church? Is it not a fact that the Catholic church has a problem with homosexual priests? I just stated my opinion as to how the church could try some new things. I conveyed a true story of how someone in many family was turned off the church because of the strong presence of gays in the seminary. Yes, this is an uncomfortable truth. The church remains a powerful force for good, but you’re kidding yourself if you think these problems don’t exist.

The answer to that has been getting the gays out of the seminary. Where that's happened there's been a vocations boom.

And one other poster said it - the only women I know who want to be priests are liberal whackos with, IMO, psychiatric disorders.

Allowing priestesses would not decrease homosexualists in the clergy because the women who want to become priestesses seem to be lesbians more often than not, and invariably are sympathetic to homosexual culture.
