God, what are you calling me to do here, prayed the priest. Come out, or stay in the closet ?
After 23 years in Chicago parishes, the question had pushed its way to the surface.
He weighed his options. He thought about his parishioners. Many, he knew, were accepting of gay people, even of same-sex marriage, but others - less so. He had grown up in a large Catholic family; he understood what people's faith meant to them. He didn't want to harm his flock, or the Catholic Church.

"the Catholic priesthood may be one of the last remaining closets - and it's a crowded one. People who study gay clergy believe gay men make up a significant percentage of the 40,000 ordained priests in the United States"
Homosexuals have infiltrated the Catholic priesthood and the Catholic hierarchy. Almost all of the dishonestly labeled "child abuse" and "pedophilia" cases were actually homosexual priests seducing boys in their late teens.
Priests take a vow of chastity. The vow before God to not engage in sex after they are ordained.
Homosexual priests disregard that vow and engage in homosexual activities whenever they want.
Homosexual acts are sinful. The are an abomination in the eyes of God. These homosexuals are not priests in the true sense of the word. They have broken their vows. They are not men of God. They are repeated and habitual sinners.
You’re defrocked. Period.
Why they have to tells us? Attention seekers. Look at me, look at me.
That does not make it any less abusive. I don't see the "dishonest" labeling here.
So you're also a liar and fraud who made meaningless vows before God. They and their sexual urges are more important to them than the Church or the trust of their parishioners. Such people are NOT to be trusted.
What I find most ugly is they call themselves ‘father’. And yes, the very young are groomed for servicing the evil doers. So the sin has in some eyes a lesser evil if the boy is past puberty... You know it is just a couple of willing homosexuals in love.

Get out Ex-Priest. Find a new religion.
There is more abuse in Protestant churches than throughout Catholicism. And teachers even top that.
The dishonesty is the pedophilia and child abuse refers to young children. That was extremely rare and in the rare cases when it occurred it was homosexual priests who also had sex with boys in the late teens and twenties. It is a homosexual problem. Not a pedophilia problem.
“There is more abuse in Protestant churches than throughout Catholicism. And teachers even top that.”
That is true but it does not excuse the behavior of homosexual priests or make their actions something that should be commended as the article suggests.
The world needs hairdressers, too.
The Protestants and school teachers will be second and third in line for judgment. I do not expect their excuses will hold anymore weight than those calling themselves ‘holy father’. It is sad to read the excuses for such an ungodly abomination.
He was one of the signers of an open letter to the hierarchy of the RC Church.
Excerpt:
The Church’s theology, including her moral teaching, is always in dialogue with the broader lived experience of her members, which shapes and rearticulates the ancient deposit of faith. We encourage a new atmosphere of openness to dialogue which includes the lived experience of many Catholic members. We recognize the blessings of countless homosexuals in a variety of relationships. We believe their experiences must be listened to respectfully.
Hahahahahaaaaa! I guess that makes everything OK with you, then? /sarcasm
Denying a man the right to marry, and readily accepting closet or open homosexuals into your "priesthood" is an abomination to God. Paul and Peter make it clear again and again, that God's intention is not to have a group of men set aside with special recognition, but that we are ALL priests, and that the leadership in the church should consist of MARRIED men who are able to control their own household.
One can post all the cult's liturgy, myths, and fables, but cannot overcome the Word of God. We do not eat bread for salvation, nor do we have any reason to stay single to be local leaders. There is no Pope in Christianity. It's like teats on a boar hog! Peter makes it clear who is the Rock!
1 Peter 2: 1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 As you come to him, the living Stone- rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him- 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 3: 3 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)
Yes, they have been infiltrating ALL institutions in an effort to destroy Judeo Christian Western Culture.
Exactly. And they want us to believe he wrestled over the decision to go public. What a bunch of baloney! Look at me, look at me.
