Michael Voris on the scandal of gay clergy – UPDATED



Surely, there have always been gay priests.

There are probably a fair number of faithful priests who have homosexual inclinations but with the graces the Church provides avoid acting on those inclinations (but even this, the Holy Father has pointed out, is problematic).

But this is probably the only time in the history of the Church that there has been such a large, influential cohort of actively gay men in the priesthood, men who do not keep their vow of celibacy and flaunt Church belief in kinds of ways.

I don’t think it accidental that this time is also one of the few, if only, times in Church history when apostasy has been so widespread within the ranks of the ordained.

This is going to be an extremely difficult problem to eradicate. Steps have been taken to improve things, and I think things have improved to a degree in seminaries, but the problem will remain for decades.

UPDATE: To show the extent of the problem, here is one active homosexual priest who rejects Church Doctrine to the extent that he writes and gives talks telling Catholics how they can apostasize and attack marriage, the foundational institution of all human society. Yes, you too can reject 2000 years of constant belief and be instantly popular (and maybe get your own HuffPo page like him!) if you just support the impossibility of “gay marriage.”
