GAY TRUTH

A new report dares to ask the question those in authority in the Catholic Church have assiduously avoided for decades: Is there a correlation between the presence of a high proportion of homosexuals in the priesthood and the incidence of clergy sex abuse? The report also examines how “homosexual subcultures” within Catholic seminaries may have contributed to creating an environment where homosexual clergy were more likely to abuse minors. “Although over 8 in 10 of victims have been boys, the idea that the abuse is related to homosexual men in the priesthood has not been widely accepted by Church leaders,” wrote Father Paul Sullins, a retired Catholic University of America (CUA) sociology professor, in a new report for the Ruth Institute. “The data show that more homosexual men in the priesthood was correlated with more overall abuse and more boys abused compared to girls.” Sullins’ report is titled Is Catholic clergy sex abuse related to homosexual priests? The priest said in a re...

As Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn noted in his exhaustive research on leftism, there were two main political thrusts to the French Revolution hidden behind the ubiquitous and high-sounding slogan of liberté, égalité, fraternité.  One was the sexual politics exemplified by the Marquis de Sade’s horrifyingly perverse ideological leanings.  The other was the embrace of a leftist definition of equality.  Such was the success of two foundational ideological tenets of the French Revolution that by 1968, the slogan of  French “revolutionaries ” had become Egalité! Liberté! Sexualité! Gradually, a very large segment of the secular West and too many within the Christian Church capitulated to the sexual revolution envisaged by de Sade--which brings us to where the Catholic Church finds itself today: Exposed as an institution whose hierarchy has allowed the systematization of homosexuality and sexual predation.  The abuse, which has been going on for decades, has been mos...

South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier identified  the role homosexual activity has played  in  the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse crisis  on  Twitter  Tuesday.  Responding to an online news  report  saying that a high court may force all of South Africa’s churches to allow same-sex unions, the cardinal said this is “precisely” the same activity as with the scandal that is “rocking the Catholic Church to its roots.”  And he went on to further say that forsaking God’s law always leads to anguish. “This morning's newspaper headline: "Churches may have to allow same-sex unions" clearly misses the point that it is a precisely same-sex activity that is the scandal rocking the Catholic Church to its roots” Cardinal Napier tweeted. “Deviation from God's law always brings grief. Lord forgive us, sinners!” Cardinal Napier @CardinalNapier This morning's newspaper headline: "Churches may have to allow same sex unions" c...

Birmingham Bishop Robert J. Baker condemned the sexual abuse by hundreds of priests outlined in the Pennsylvania grand jury report , stating that the abuse was “predominately homosexual.” “We are forced today to face the tragic revelation of scores of accusations of predominately homosexual behavior and abuse,” he wrote in a public letter issued Monday. "Again in recent weeks, the church is thrust deep into the throes of shocking and unanticipated betrayal by the revelations of the sinful, egregious actions of those in positions of power, by those whose lives were meant, through Christ, to be lived sacrificially for others," wrote the bishop. "Whether the acts committed were by hierarchs, priests, or deacons, the evil committed and the evil inflicted is horrific, excruciating, and absolutely intolerable," he wrote. Bishop Baker’s letter came out the same day Pope Francis reacted to the abuse crisis, stating that “clericalism” was the root cause. The bishop noted ...
