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

If you n show me any time Church history wh as many gays as the Catholic Church Europe and the Ameris currently have, I will give you my vehicle, a 2007 Nissan Murano. 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.

A bad sense, effemate, of a tame, of a boy kept for homosexual relatns wh a man, of a male who subms his body to unnatural lewdns, of a male prostute. 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.

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

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. Once the gay, nnivg, manipulative prits began to fill semari and relig orrs the 1970s, they easily beme prits by the 1980s and then bishops by the 1990s.

To prove that gay bishops ambly helped each other ladr climbg through the hierarchy would take another five blog posts — always follow the money.
