"When a priest comes out and says he is gay, he is promoting an agenda," Brady said. "He wants sympathy for himself and his cause and he is promoting the sodomite lifestyle which is an abomination." Rev. Jim Morrison(!), presently pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Center at Nicholls State University, sent a letter on Jan. 2 to about 300 parishioners and 200 student-ministry leaders acknowledging that though celibate, he is gay.

They embraced his honesty with open arms and said that they loved him, as Christ would.

Nah, just kidding.

Well, it's a religion run by a former Nazi jugend, so what do you expect?

If the Catholic church has taught us anything, it's that if you suppress homosexual feelings long enough, they simply fade away, with no harm done.

too bad all the pedophile Priests weren't that way, CC.

Speaking of gay priests and stuff--Cardinal Egan here in NY? big fag --...as leaders of a church requiring celibacy and condemning homosexuality, actively gay bishops are too afraid of being exposed themselves to turn in pedophile priests. The bishops' closeted homosexuality, as the lawsuit states, "has compromised defendants' ability to supervise and control predators, and has served as a reason for the retaliation." ...

So he actively eschews the lifestyle (dude's celibate, yes?), but he's promoting it?

I was raised very Catholic, and I was always taught that homosexual impulses are not a sin, but acting on them are. God (allegedly) doesn't care if you're gay, but He's (allegedly) not a fan of the buttsex.

This Brady douche sure is showing a lot of compassion. Jesus would be proud.
