And talk about being obsessed with gays



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The Catholic Church is fixated on gays. Sometimes, it's all they can talk about:

A day after the disclosure of a new Vatican directive that deters most gay men from joining the priesthood, some priests say they are shocked by one easily overlooked clause. It says that spiritual directors and confessors in seminaries "have the duty to dissuade" any candidates "who show deep-seated homosexual tendencies" from joining the priesthood.

These priests said this would turn the confessional and spiritual counseling sessions, which seminarians previously regarded as private and supportive meetings, into a tool for weeding gay men out of seminaries.
If they paid as much attention to weeding out and punishing child molesters, they wouldn't be in so much trouble. The Catholic Church is trying a bait and switch. If they bash gays, everyone will think they are dealing with their real issues. They aren't.

But talk about attrition. If they stick to this plan, the Church will run out of priests fast.
