As what? You have a full collection of "orientations" inside da church. Animal lovers, children lovers (male and/or female), Homosexuals, etc...

All tbh, but in especially the gays. I think at this point they're just self-hating and jealous that they weren't born when our generation was. In my opinion, the acceptance of homosexuality is directly correlated to the decline in Christianity.

And as for the pedophiles, they just need to own up to what they did because victims deserve justice.

you're asking for mess

most of them are pedophiles which is why they seek God because they know that what they desire is wrong, they shouldnt come out but instead seek medical help to repress their desire instead of turning to prayer

I think most of them are repressed homosexuals who turned to God because they thought what they desired was wrong. I think a lot of them would have sex with each other. But I also think that as they got older and other boys expressed interest in the church at 13-15 as altar boys (either because their parents forced them to or because they also weren't interested in sex with women) then the priests wouldn't have been able to repress their sexual desires much longer. I know that sounds like I'm blurring the line between homosexual and pedophile, and that's not my intention, but there is a "Lolita" age for gay men as well where they're sexually developed but not physically, emotionally or psychologically ready for sexual activity. But that wouldn't have stopped a lot of priests, many of whom probably suffered from alcoholism.

Watch 'Doubt' if you haven't already. It's a really great movie. It's ****ed up, but it does a better job of describing what I'm trying to say.

Y'all are so sensitive, seriously. I don't even think anyone is genuinely offended or thinks this isn't a plausible conversation to have. You're jus trying to punch me out.

That's fiction

It's well-informed fiction though. It's not like 'The Lord of the Rings' where you can sit there and say "nothing even remotely like this ever happened."

Joking about a priest's sexual orientation is childish

Have respect for religion

Nobody Cares

Lord of the Rings is heavily based on Norse mythology though. There's historical records.

I'm not joking and I genuinely don't think this is disrespectful. When I came out I had this exact same conversation with my parents and I asked my dad if he could ever commit to a life of celibacy and never have sex with a woman and he said "not in a million years...he's probably right you know."

Exactly, mythology. Dragons never existed. Whereas priests being shifted around to different schools/dioceses after sexual relations with young male students has been an ongoing problem in the Church and is evident in countries all over the world. That happened. Wizards and hobbits and elves didn't.

This is highly offensive, and I'm not even religious.
