conspiracy theory of the day

Is there a "gay cabal" in the Vatican?

Well, maybe...

One has heard this for years, but this report isn't from Jack Chick but from the more staid National Catholic reporter. via Father Z

Father Greeley, in his book a parish priest, noted that men with same sex attraction were allowed in the seminaries, because it was assumed they wouldn't give in to their temptations.

Then what happened is that when discipline got lax, some gave it. In the meanwhile, a lot of those who openly were gay were tolerated or ignored by their friends who tended to go into the bureaucracy. And many who were repeat pedophiles were treated as if this was merely a lapse, and reassigned after they repented or got treatment. Some were sociopaths and could fool the psychiatrists.

I am reminded of how our diocesan newspaper rejoiced at the gay friendly atmosphere in Penn State's Catholic groups.

Uh, Sandusky anyone?

Sigh. In our prayers.

and it explains this:

A homosexual lobby was also suspected to have been influential on both Synods on the Family when controversial passages relating to homosexuals made their way into the interim report during the 2014 meeting despite being hardly discussed, and external lobby groups sought to pressure the participants.There was also a common perception that the Communion for remarried divorcees issue, which dominated both synods, was a “Trojan horse” to allow Church recognition of same-sex relationships and other extra-marital unions.

am I "homophobic"?

Well, those with temptations but who try to follow Christ are welcome, but when our business has become so gay (and so much sexual preying on employees) that no decent farmer will work for us, even in the Philippines, where being gay is not a big thing, then I say maybe someone should not pretend adultary or sleeping with employees are victimless crimes.
