Vatican to Ban Gay Priests

Gemini Cricket · 09-22-2005, 07:44 AM

A couple of thoughts on this:

1. It doesn't pertain to already ordained priests. Because if it did... ahem... there would be a huge chunk of priests resigning.

2. The church wants to 'purify' their priestly ranks. Was that something the current Pope learned as a kid? You know, purifying a large group by getting rid of an unpopular minority?

3. The CC should let priests marry already, for Christ's sake.

4. In a way, I'm happy with the decision. Often the most staunchly anti-gay priests are the gay ones. Without them, the church can lay off trying to deny my rights as an American.

5. Is the ban on lesbian nuns next?

6. In their narrow mind, how does this ban halt the priests who molested little girls?

Off topic: The last pope was more photogenic.
