romach, thanks for dropping by. as someone who used to be fervently catholic, what i find disturbing is the hypocrisy of it all. not discounting the unreasonableness of it all, how can they possibly ask homosexuals to be celibate when they can’t even police their own ranks – priests who made a solemn vow not to be sexually active? funny, too, how the church’s biases are evident in this case. if a priest violates his vow of celibacy, a commitment he made before his god, he would be asked to leave the vocation but not the church or the faith. he would perhaps be ostracized, but not as much as homosexuals, who are being compelled to do an unnatural act – celibacy – in order to be accepted, in order to feel their god’s compassion.

Great post buddy, really enjoyed reading it. I was brought up by Nuns and priests and I got to hear of many priests being gay in the town where I lived. Some of them berated me for being gay while I was at school and yet they hid behind the church and berrated all the other gay people in my town. I was brought up in Ireland and it use to be years ago there were loads of people entering the priest hood every year. More and more people are being turned off that now because of the way the Catholic church treats gays. I was brought up a Catholic although I am not practicing now but I feel repulsed when priests like this make such nasty comments. I wish these priests would get their heads out of there asses and realize whether a person is gay or straight, sex is natural and its as simple as that.
