Though it has been a problem, having only altar boys has nothing to do with homosexuality.
No, you take a hike with your outdated ideas that have brought nothing but scandal, lawsuits, and depraved 'priests' who are coddled and sheltered from justice. It's time the Vatican join the 19th century.

You sound just like the radical feminists who scream at the "patriarchy" of the Church. But then I recall that Protestantism was the original force of wreckovation in the Western world.

What kind of flying leap of emotive illogic gets you from "altar servers should be males" to "scandal, lawsuits, and sheltering depraved priests from justice"?

Do you normally assume that any adult male engaged in an innocent activity with a boy is doing so as a prelude to homosexual abuse? Why?

Where are the scandals, the lawsuite, the depraved priests, the coddlers?

In the *liberal* diocese. In Arlington diocese, the worst sex scandal was a priest having coffee with a 24-year-old woman. In Washington, it was a priest kissing a woman 25 years ago. Go to the heretical dioceses with all their liberal innovations: Boston, Richmond, Chicago, Wisconsin, Rockville Center (Long Island), Los Angeles, Pheonix. That's where the abuse cases are coming from.

Excuse me. The priest pedophile/homosexual scandals have much more to do with the militant gay rights movement of the 20th & 21st centuries than they do with "outdated ideas."

This is the modernist heresy at its finest (worst).
