‘IT IS NOT A CLOSET. IT IS A CAGE.’ GAY CATHOLIC PRITS SPEAK OUT

” And yet, thoands of the church’s prits are stori of gay prits are unspoken, veiled om the outsi world, known only to one another, if they are known at than about 10 prits the Uned Stat have dared to e out publicly.

WHY DID SO MANY GAY MEN ENTER THE PRITHOOD THE 20TH CENTURY?

McCarrick, the once-powerful rdal who was ocked last week for sexual abe of boys and young men, has flamed accatns that homosexualy is to blame for the church’s rurgent abe crisis. And yet proment bishops have sgled out gay prits as the root of the problem, and right-wg media anizatns attack what they have lled the church’s “homosexual subculture, ” “lavenr mafia, ” or “gay bal. He has lled homosexualy “fashnable, ” remend that men wh “this ep-seated tenncy” not be accepted for mistry and admonished gay prits to be “perfectly rponsible, tryg to never create sndal.

”The sexual revolutn happeng outsi semary walls might as well have happened on the moon, and natnal ton the fight for gay rights, like the Stonewall rts, on prit a ral dce said the l remd him of how his elementary school forced left-hand stunts to wre wh their right hand. ”Though open, the closet means that many prits have held the most paful stori among themselv for s: The semarian who died by suici, and the match om a gay bar found afterward his room. Wh every new abe revelatn, the tangled threads of the church’s sexual culture bee even more impossible to sort after study shows that homosexualy is not a predictor of child moltatn.

When the abe crisis broke out aga last summer, the former Vatin ambassador to the Uned Stat, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, acced “homosexual works” of Amerin rdals of secretly workg to protect abers. “Instead of seeg creased acuntabily on the parts of the bishops, uld bee once aga a nmnatn of lbian, gay, transsexual people wh the church, ” John Coe, 63, a permanent an Kentucky, who me out last year, said about the summ. They have unvered how siar mistranslatns, misntextualizatns, and misterpretatns have altered the meangs of the ancient scriptur to legimate morn social prejudic agast homosexualy.

80 PERCENT OF PRITS THE VATIN ARE GAY: NEW BOOK

When early Christian mentators such as John Chrysostom, one of the most prolific biblil wrers of the fourth century, cricized homosexual acts, was typilly part of an ascetic nmnatn of all sexual experienc.

CATHOLIC PRITS: IT'S 'EMPIRIL FACT' THAT MANY CLERGY ARE GAY

In fact, the fact that we have only one sat repeatedly quoted on this topic om 19 centuri before our own prov to me that we have never had an epimic of so many homosexuals the prithood as today. This blog post is not about the full history of homosexuals the prithood, but rather the cultural factors and attacks on the Church the 20th century that created the perfect storm for many homosexuals to enter Catholic semari.

GAY FORMER PRIT: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 'IS A SICK STUTN'

If you doubt that this terpretatn is a simply a stretch to clu homosexualy my blog post, look at which word the Apostle Pl to show how practicg homosexuals will not make to Heaven: "Or do you not know that the unrighteo will not her the kgdom of God? Do not be ceived: neher the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexualy (μαλακοὶ), nor thiev, nor the greedy, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers will her the kgdom of God" (1 Cor 6:9–10).

Remember that the pot of this blog post is simply to show how the culture and the Church changed to allow more gays to the prithood than ever before — part two will be solutns.

Also remember that, although this blog post is not about the rapg of children, remember that nota bene number six at the begng of this blog post shows that 80 percent of the prits who harm children were intified as gay. The that followed Vatin II was not the genis of gay prits, but allowed them to live the open, and here's my gus as to why: All through semary, I was told that there was no change to lurgy or doctre. A man who do not believe any objective orr for his sexualy (homo-sex at bt, child abe at worst) is gog to be attracted to a Mass where he, the narcissist, is the only pot of reference for entertag the people.

GAY PRITS: BREAKG THE SILENCE

A total of about 80 percent of the most revered clerics the Roman Catholic Church are homosexual spe the church’s opposn to gay rights, acrdg to the extensively rearched book by French journalist Frédéric Martel.

The gay prits adhere to an unspoken lled “the closet, ” where is unrstood that, for stance, a rdal or bishop who nounc homosexualy is more likely to be gay, acrdg to the book “In the Closet of the Vatin. Gay and straight prits alike are cheerg Pope Francis's ments about homosexualy the prithood, sayg gay prits make up a signifint segment of the Catholic clergy and serve papal regnn. " It's a ment that stands stark ntrast to the policy of Francis's precsor, Pope Benedict XVI, who signed a document 2005 that said men wh strong gay tennci should not be prits.
