Come on Don, priests are men first.... and men are naturally programmed to reproduce, or at least have sexual intercourse.

The Boston priest abuse scandal and the latest cases in the US, UK, and Ireland show "celibacy" as a downright lie...Joe says it is purely an expediant in cutting costs for the Catholic church!

The stats say that up to 30% of priests are homosexual and these figures seem to have been borne out by the high rates of homosexual abuse perpetrated against,largely young men and boys.

If this is a "sting", it has been well planned and executed to nullify the stance of O'Brien, who has been an outspoken opponent of homosexual "marriage" and the promotion of homosexuality in society.

Ian Mather is in dangerous territory in branding O'Brien as a "rapist", when we neither know what the allegations actually were or who made them.
I suspect he may wish to have his post removed.....if he has any modicum of sense.

I know that, Ake. But those who enter the priesthood have presumable given that up for a "higher life."

When things like priests cavorting with either sex come out, it tends appears that the Church has been a bit remiss in policing its own ranks.

This is an entirely different issue.

Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage May Improve Public Health

Legal marriage may be a boon for the health of same-sex couples, according to new research that finds cohabitating doesn't provide the same health benefits for gay couples that marriage does for straights.

Here..have fun with this one!

Bill D: "Some of all those, I'd guess. Genetic in part perhaps-- that is hard to establish...but I knew at least two guys years ago who used bi-sexuality to ummm... enhance... life."

Well, sakes alive...and honest response.... "...I'd guess."

"In a pair of rulings released this morning, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, and dismissed the Prop. 8 appeal—leaving the door open for gay marriage in California."

Rapist. (See above, the usual disgraceful bigoted post)

Albeit a rapist who has left Scotland for a period of reflection. Perhaps it would have been better if his period of reflection was spent in Scotland.

I assume there are solitary confinement cells should he feel as afraid as his victims.

Looks like a French Mayor is in trouble for refusing to allow a wedding in his village. Still a long way to go for people to have equal access to rights and position.
