It has been know for a long time that many if not most Catholic seminaries were hot beds for homosexual activity (I know not all of them). When I was at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul MN, we often heard stories of how seminary prefects and other low level instructors were "engaging" the young men in inappropriate behavior. As I got to know several of the seminarian students, they would tell stories of what would be going on inside the seminary.
I also had an Uncle that was a Catholic Brother at a seminary in Wisconsin. That school was also embroiled in a large sexual scandal several years back.
I was accosted by a Catholic priest as a young man after graduation from college.
The stories go on and on and on….
That is why this is such great news in this article below. The Catholic Church is finally going to admit and attempt to fix their homosexual problem.
De-homosexualization of the Catholic Church
I certainly hope so! Thanks for the link … it was interesting to see a reasonable possible explanation for why Pope John Paul II failed to act on that information. One thing that a lot of people liked about Pope Benedict XVI is that his office was the one that received all the complaints (letters, emails, etc.) from the US about these various problems. So it is hoped that he will now take action.
I think many of us hope so…
