The New York Times reports that under Pope Ratzinger the
Vatican is planning a purge of gay seminarians:
the American archbishop who is supervising the seminary review said last week that "anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity or has strong homosexual inclinations," should not be admitted to a seminary [and that] the restriction should apply even to those who have not been sexually active for a decade or more.
I don't have much to say; my views on the Roman church and what
it's done to the gospel message would make what some of my
commenters think of Republicans seem tame.
(And more views in our mailbag.)
