they are taught that homosexuality is bad and then, when they feel it themselves think ...
* that the life of a priest will cure them
* prevent them from having the opportunity for acting on their urges
* or at least that the righteous lifestyle makes up for their sinful thoughts
those people don't become priests despite being gay, they become priests because they are gay.
- dusted 4y agoThat's an interesting perspective, I didn't consider how the indoctrination plays into it.

- dusted 4y agoI disagree with your using of the term "degenerate" to describe homosexuals, I also disagree with your using the term "depravity" to describe seeking consensual relations through an app, that seems unfounded. Your logic is strange, if they are completely faithless (like me!), then they see no moral wrong with them being as they are, and so, since they're doing nothing wrong, there is no need for "cover". As for opportunity, are you suggesting that the prist-population contains an higher than average homosexual non-pedophile men ? (I assume the pedophiles are not using the app since they have ample supply of choir boys?)
- Eisenstein 4y agoWouldn't it be easier to have gay sex with men when you aren't a priest, so you don't have to hide it? Your scenario makes no sense. What benefit does a gay priest have to get access to gay sex that isn't 100 times better as not a priest but just an openly gay man?
