    Oh yes another day another example of whats really going on.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/24/catholic-church-gay-priests-exposed

    One priest, a Frenchman in his 30s identified as Father Paul, attended a party at which there were two male prostitutes then said Mass the following morning before driving them to the airport, Panorama reported. A photo on its website claimed to show the priest in his dog collar but without his trousers with a gay man who acted as decoy for the magazine. In other shots, priests were shown apparently kissing Panorama's collaborator.

    Panorama is not the BBC TV programme, its an Italian weekly current affairs magazine.

    Hardly shocking, but is it even embarrassing any more?

    I'd put the % of gay priests at between 50% and 90%. A number probably went into the seminary because that's what their mammies wanted and would be heterosexual, but most of those would have left after coming to their senses.

    Has there ever been a straight, celibate priest in the history of the church, and if there was would you really want him as your local parish priest.:p

    Separate discussion, but I'd say there's a greater proportion of agnostic priests than agnostics in the general population - as I'd suggest the more you study religion the more sceptical you'd have to become.

    Meh.
    At least he wasn't having sex with children.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    "...the weekly Panorama, owned by Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi...
    This the same person who had/is having his own sexual antics with eighteen year olds?
    I suspect while there might be accuracy in the magazine story, it might also be serving as a diversion from his own antics that are been currently written about in their country media and worldwide.

    Radio Controlled Priests?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 977 ✭✭✭Abrasax


    Interesting statistic from the news report.
    A member of the clergy quoted by the magazine put the proportion of gay priests in the Italian capital at "98%".

    And in another survey it was estimated that 2% of priests in the capital have trouble getting to sleep at night.

    Nothing evil about being gay.
    He's hypocritical, but I wouldn't call him evil or dangerous.

    I'll say once again, at least it wasn't children he was having sex with.

    Sigh....yet another church-bashing thread :rolleyes:

    So they're gay, so what? It's not crime.

    And I have yet to hear a sermon preaching homosexuality is wrong and I've been going to church all of my 24 years.

    because i ventured a guess that preti is like "prêtre" in french, meaning priest

    /pedantic post :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭catchup


    Its the hyprocisy that gets me, not the fact that they are gay. Either you are celibate or you are not. Whether you are gay or straight, any priest having sex is a hypocrite and should leave the Church.

    Thats because the majority of priests are gay and became priests to hide it, In the days when being gay was a taboo

    "Homosexual acts are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved."

    Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 2357 Catholic Church

    The Catholic church also believes that any anal sex is sinful, as is the use of contraception, oral sex, pornography & masturbation.

    They don't practice what they preach, and to avoid the criticism of being "hypocrites", they constantly pull out the card which says, it's only really a sin if one does not repent it.

    So basically, you can do whatever the f*ck you want, once you say "sorry" afterwards.

    You think that the RC think it's OK?


    Edit: it not bring a crime is no thanks to the church. They lobbied against decriminalisation.

    They should be allowed without any taunting or judgment,They are human.

    They joined exactly the wrong organisation if that's what they were after.

    The 'porn actress for a day' and 'hottest tranny in Italy' articles are far more interesting. There's a whole Slydice Crying Game slideshow.

    It did, for many years in this country. But as can be clearly seen they've lost much of their control over the hearts and minds of the people.

    Fortunately however the mass media have stood in and taken control where the Church left off. But, *sshhh* don't tell anyone! People like to feel that they're finally free-thinking & enlightened.

    Well thats their own fault isnt it? They knew what they were joining.
    I dont see RC as leaders of catholics.

    to be fair, they probably saw what some Irish preists have been getting up to with their altar boys and how the vatican had covered it up and figured it was tame by comparison.

    Those priest sex pictures are kind of hot.
