Why. Don’t. They. Fix. The. Problem?
Look, I was raised Catholic, and I am sure that many of the priests who taught me, advised me in my yoot, led mass, &c, were gay. Not one ever touched me. (As an aside, celibate life is unimaginable to me.)
But the problem here is that a small minority of gay priests are pedophiles, and yet the Church has *coddled* them. Which is unconscionable. Get rid of them. Put them in jail. Make your parishoners trust you gain.
I mean, really. WTF?
No. no.no.
Once and for all, there is no correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia. None. The problem isn’t the gay priests.
