SperoNews: The homosexual subculture in the Church today

It was discovered that Minneapolis priest Fr. Leo Tibesar is on the National Leadership Team for Dignity USA, a lobby group committed to the inclusion of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender persons in the Catholic Church.

An explosion of homosexuality is occurring in our midst. Flaunted by the mass media and promoted throughout our society, it has suddenly become a high profile issue. Yet this “coming out” is no surprise to those who have diligently worked for years to advance the cause of homosexuality, and this is especially true for the proponents of homosexuality that we find entrenched in the Catholic Church today.

The sex abuse scandal that broke out in 2002 was a loud signal that things have gone far astray. Although only 2.7 percent of the total number of priests nationwide were involved in sexual abuse cases (note that the number of homosexuals in the general population is estimated to be about 2 percent), the John Jay Study found 81 percent of the abuse cases to be homosexual in nature.

Yet the USCCB and the gay community insist that the problem is one of pedophilia and not homosexuality. Since pedophilia is defined as sexual contact with children who are prepubescent, and the vast majority of victims were post-pubescent males between the ages of 11 and 18, it is clear that the bulk of the crisis is directly linked to the practice of homosexuality.

When the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis publicly stated in March 2006 that he did not believe “there has ever been an active subculture of homosexual priests” in the archdiocese, LifeSite News quickly pointed out that his own brother William McDonough, an active priest in the archdiocese until 1998, has long been known for his pro-gay stance. From 1991-1997, Fr. William McDonough taught “sexual morality” at the diocesan seminary, and in 1999 he trained teachers from local Catholic high schools on “an adequate Catholic moral response to homosexuality and homosexual persons.” [snip] Spero News for More

Real big suprise there. I dont thing it is anything that Fr. Tibesar has been doing. Hopefully this will give the next Archbishop evidence enough to censure him permanantly.

The Bishops are workers in the vineyard, they are there to pull the weeds out before they choke the good fruit. Lets hope it begins immediately.

Do you think that Schwab women is the same pundit signing comments as "Midwest Housewife" this past week? The vindictive tone seems to match.
