EPISPAL SODOMY: GAY SEMARIAN PIPELE

In 1976, both the Hoe of Deputi and Hoe of Bishops voted for a fully clive Epispal Church, statg, “homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim wh all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral ncern and re of the church. Wley Hill might embody ntradictn: an openly gay man who is opposed to same-sex marriage and advot celibacy for gay Christians, servg a church that is fully clive of LGBTQ+ people. In 2010, his book “Washed and Wag: Reflectns on Christian Fahfulns and Homosexualy, ” articulated an unmon, nuanced approach to Christian sexualy that diverged om the much lour voic on the right and left.

In that and other wrgs, he has argued that the evangelil “ex-gay” movement – which views homosexualy as a disorr that n and should be cured wh nversn therapy – is harmful and immoral.

The view that he helped popularize – acceptg gay orientatns as neher herently sful nor appropriate for sex and marriage – spawned a mostly onle movement among LGBTQ+ Christians that me to be lled Si B. It offers an alternative to “Si A” Christiany – the more liberal view poed by The Epispal Church and other nomatns that perform same-sex marriag and do not view gay sex as sful. And so later when I was really wrtlg both personally as well as theologilly, I got to some of the nversatns about what is an appropriate Christian way to be gay, to live out one’s sexualy.

A uple of wrers were really important for me – one was Henri Nouwen, and he wasn’t out durg his lifetime, but subsequently, bgraphers unearthed the fact that he had lived a, by all acunts, celibate gay life, and I eply ronated wh a lot of his wrg on spirualy and psychology and lonels particular. But I would say even om progrsive folks who disagree wh me, I mean, certaly not all of them, but a lot of the younger on regnize the plexy of this and many of them are gay themselv. Hill: I mean, I don’t want anyone The Epispal Church to feel threatened by me as if I’m tryg to roll back the clock and make gay people go back the closet or whatever.

“That was a really strikg moment to me as a Lato gay man, ” said Miguel Esbar, executive director of the Epispal Divy School at Unn Theologil Semary, durg a Hoe of Deputi discsn on May 18 tled “A Full and Equal Claim: LGBTQ+ Epispalians Discs the Path Forward. “There were some church I applied to that I uldn’t get as a gay person, and there were others that I applied to that I uldn’t get as a Black person, ” Grav told ENS, scribg his earlier job search.

Multiple semarians have been ntact wh and want the entire story of the massive, massive crisis of homosexual predatn by the clergy — pecially the semari — pletely exposed. John Lavers: "The vtigatn, when we began April/May of 2012, revealed that there was a wi work of semarians which were volved abnormal behavr and homosexual activy spreadg across a number of dc the eastern part of the Uned Stat. Semarians who had actually been expelled om var Colombian semari for homosexual activy were quietly told that they should fd their way to the Amerin "discernment" hoe if they wanted a ticket to gay-iendly semari the Uned State.

Approximately three or four years later, the archdce of Newark shut down the Columbian hoe when the homosexual activy volvg Amerin prits and the young Columbians was disvered, as this would e great embarrassment to the archdce if ever beme public.

What Church Milant has learned is that, prr to gog to Hartford 2003, when he was bishop of Buffalo startg 1995, Mansell set up an earlier versn of the gay recg work Colombia. Church Milant spoke exclively to multiple semarians who were at Buffalo's Christ the Kg Semary at the time, and two of them told that homosexualy at the semary unr Mansell and Gatto was rampant, and that some of the Colombians were actually parceled out to parish assignments wh active homosexual pastors, who lavished expensive gifts, cludg rs, on the young, gay Colombians exchange for sex.

We spoke wh two of the men by phone — one of whom didn't want his name ed — and they both said they left semary bee they were disgted wh the -your-face homosexualy that domated. Former semarians tell Church Milant that the volvement of Mansell and Serratelli movg around gay semarians beme well known by Church officials, as both the bishops had large numbers of semarians wh their dc, and they need to stter them around different semari so as not to draw too much attentn to their exceptnally high number when the Church the Uned Stat was experiencg a massive drop the numbers of semarians.

In 2012, this issue of the South Amerin gay pipele me to a head when var plats of homosexual activy and sexual abe beme known at Holy Apostl Semary Cromwell, Connecticut, the dce of Norwich, after some there reported that a large number of Colombian and U. Church Milant has received rmatn om semarians about what went on at the semary and how the lol clergy om the archdce of Hartford, as well as other prits om other dc, were volved homosexual activy as well as sexually abg young men studyg for the prithood. And absolutely worth notg — very important — all this was wh jt the last few years, not s and s ago, as many guilty prelat keep tryg to sist orr to flect attentn om the massive, massive crisis of homosexualy among clergy and bishops lyg to ver up.
