The Monsignor got stung!
Quite a story from Rome about the Vatican Monsignor caught in the Italian TV hidden camera sting exposing gay priests. I'm surprised they only managed to entrap one! Everyone knows there must be countless numbers of them running around the Church's inner sanctum. I have even heard it speculated that the Church's almost irrational determination to preserve mandatory clerical celibacy has its roots in the gay clerical subculture at the very top; too many risk being exposed as the flamers they are if celibacy is no longer required of priests. One would like to think that such speculation is totally off the mark. But is it? I wonder sometimes. It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

Plenty of perfectly orthodox priests, bishops, seminarians, and laypeople are also very determined to preserve mandatory clerical celibacy in the Latin Rite. Ferreting out the closeted homosexuals is the proper (but difficult) approach. Aligning oneself with the dissenters and calling against celibacy when strong examples are needed most is not.
Besides, married clergy doesn't 'fix' the problem overnight. Our Protestant brethren have showed us that.
Fr. Charles Ledderer, The Dakotas, USA you are impersonating a Catholic priest. Your identity is fictitious. There are people on here that are believing you. I am asking you not to trick people anymore.
