i just read that the Vatican intends to bar celibate gay catholics from attending seminary and becoming priests after a review of the priesthood's recent battery of court cases involving child molestation.
WHAT?
um...gay people, by definition, like other gay people. not children. they're Homosexuals, not Poedophiles. jesus-please-us. give me a break. The Vatican has stated that the Pope's attack on homosexuality is an effort to express his determination to maintain traditional, conservative catholic values but honestly all they're doing is being prejudiced. they've taken a vow of celibacy. who cares who the priests envision when they masturbate furiously, alone in their single bed?
the fact that anyone is willing to take a vow of celibacy is a big fat red flare indicating that they're probably not quite right in the head. celibacy is in itself unnatural, much more so than homosexuality. celibate persons are frequently deranged and twitchy, and probably spend a lot of time hallucinating that the room is full of nothing but bouncing breasts or humping the furniure. i'd say that your average homosexual is probably a lot saner than your average priest, 'cos at least they're gettin' some. as far as my insignificant opinion is concerned, when it comes to churchy folk, to refuse your body's drive to copulate is to defy nature, which is defying God. priests are the biggest heretics in the entire church.
"cracking down" on homosexuality in the church will not cut down on the number of poedophiles in the seminary--indeed, it will open seats in the seminary for creeps and poedophiles, just so long as they're not gay. i half wonder if this statement on the part of Benedict is not to give a little nod to W's irrational hatred of gays and his desire to criminalise homosexual marriage (and i'm sure eventually homosexuality in general). aligning poedophiles and homosexuals is about the least sensical and most backward bit of jargon i've heard in ages. its like saying all people who like strawberries are more inclined to wear pleather. the two are not in the slightest sense related. its only a matter of time before dim-witted mothers start screaming at men holding hands in the street that they're going to hurt their baby or school safety lectures begin with "never take candy from limp-wristed strangers."

As a "bad" Catholic, I would like to stand up and applaud as my Church once again proudly shoots itself in the foot.
And they wonder why there's a shortage of priests...
Just when stereotypes sink in, a ray of hope shows you that all 300 million of you can't have voted for that barely simian chimp!
The fact is you are right. There may be hundreds of millions of them differing from your opinion, but it's hundreds of millions of easily led morons looking for a simple answer so they can point a finger at someone so they don't have to examine their own inadequacies. And the Fuhrer, sorry, Pope is giving them a nice easy option. In exactly the same way as we are given Muslims as the root of all Evil, who smoothly took over from communists of course.
Anyway, going on a bit, sorry. Good point about the unnatural nature of the Clergy, excellent point. There also seems to be somehting in the law of all major religions about posessing a truly awful haircut.
My Grammar and sentence structure appears to vanish completely the second I post on someone else's Blog. So apologies for the garbled comment
