To follow up on that article, if you can get the transcript of Meet The Press from 2 weeks ago, this point was made clear by two Bishops to the moderator Tim Russert. One bishop admitted that at least 30 to 50 percent of Catholic priests are homosexual. When Tim Russert asked him if this was the problem, he said tha he "did not see a problem with having gay priests, they just need to honor their celibacy vows". I was astonished. This was a bishop who was at the meeting in Rome. WTFH? The reason the Pope took no action was because he would have to eliminate a great deal of hi s proesthood to fix the problem. Why not just do the right thing and let married priests lead your congregations.

The Catholic Church prides itself on being ABSOLUTELY correct (for better or worse). To change what has now become almost synonymous with Catholic priesthood would mean that the Church got it wrong.
Even at the convention, the priests said there would be no zero tolerance (WTF?). Saying in part that if a DRUNK (!?) priest was involved with "an older minor" (!?) in an inapproriate way he did not deserve to be immediately removed. Um, okay....
Think of the children...
