GOODBYE, STRAIGHT MEN The real state of U.S. seminaries today

[RileyG]

so from that linked 2009 article this is interesting to me:

Reminder: you are in a Catholic sub forum

God bless you abundantly

There is plenty of abuse and cover ups on the Baptist Church, other Protestant Churches, JW’s, Mormons, public schools, etc. a lot of those people aren’t gay either.

True. I hear it even happened in some Orthodox monasteries. There was one that was linked to the late Fr. seraphim Rose, who was a former gay man

(A member of the community. I don’t recall his name. NOT saying Fr. Rose was an abuser or was aware of it).

Some don’t like using the term “gay” because it implies they are actively living the gay lifestyle or it’s too politicized.

"Same sex Attraction" does sound a bit better than the "gay" stereotype.

Agreed.

I’m sure if homosexuals weren’t ordained to the priesthood, 99.9% of the abuse problems would go away. Just an educated guess.

80% anyhow. Some priests do like young ladies. But it would clear up a lot of problems.

True. I'm sure there are an abidance of straight priests. Since most men are indeed heterosexual, like majority of the population.
