one who was more socially compassionate than this right wing pedo coverup guy. The church, in my opinion, has been going the wrong direction after Pope John XXIII. There's a great read called, "Sex in History," written by Tannenbaum. At one time, the church thought having sex with a female was worse than having sex with a male and the penance was less for a priest having same sex. Reading some parts of the gnostic gospels, it seems to me, that peter didn't care for women and was jealous of Jesus' relationships with women, especially mary. Kind of gets you wondering if peter was gay.

A church that doesn't allow its' priests to marry, is afraid that gays are going to end the human race? WTF! Really? Is he influenced by his anti-gay hitler youth days, because his logic is totally flawed. If you're so concerned then allow priests and nuns to marry like the episcopalians.
