    alrich5 and bkbyesfan - both of you are on key. I wish more people would do some research too instead of blindly following people or organizations. Our television is another media that spoon feeds millions of Americans and misleading them down the wrong path. Our public schools and colleges are not going to share this information with us....

    It seems to me that the church is forgetting one thing. A priest takes a vow of celibacy at ordination, so what is the difference if he feels attracted to men or women? No matter what he feels, the church made him swear, before God, to overcome those feelings and get on with his vocation. If he cannot do that, he has no business being in the priesthood. It does not matter what we think of celibacy, I personally think it is wrong, the fact is it exists in the rules, and the rules must be obeyed. These men knew what they were getting into, and if they can't live with it, they should bow out.

      At the marriage (altar) the man and woman promise to love each other till death do us part and to be faithful to each other. They mean it, will it. Later one feels attracted, physically, emotionally to 'another' and there is consummation, may be repeated consummations. It's the same thing with priests and nuns: at the time of their vows they mean it (at least I hope so), being young, idealistic, overgenerous and self-sacrificing. As the years go by, and seeing the 'inside' of their colleagues and revered seniors ( may be through confession) and struggling with the primordial force of recreation, ashamed to accept they made a mistake in the first place, afraid of social stigma for them and more for their families, unwilling to give up the easy 'good life', incapable of earning their daily bread by the sweat of their brow... No wonder.

    I have read some of the comment posted and I can not understand how people can be so blind. First of all most of you don't know church history, on the long war on the truth the Roman Catholic Chruch has always been the enemy of the true Church of JESUS CHRIST. Roman Catholicism is an apostate false religon. If you understand this, then you can understand the sins of this false priesthood.

      UP YOURS, ALRICH5, YOU ARE CLEARLY A SATAN WORSHIPPING COMMUNIST.

    I am a Catholic, have been all my life, parochial school, the whole nine yards. I believe that priests should be allowed to marry, the first priests were married and celibacy has no basis in history. However, straight married men (and women) molest children all the time. This is not a sexuality problem, it is a problem of cowardice on the part of the Church. The Church hid behind robes and did nothing about this until forced to by the media. The Church does not need to worry about whether or not a priest is gay or straight, it needs to worry about the priest's character. If a priest, gay or straight, abuses ANYONE, that priest should be held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law - and he should no longer be a priest. The Church should be forthcoming with the information and not wait until the story breaks on the nightly news. Quite frankly, if the bishop of a diocese conceals any illegal act of his priests, then he should be held accountable as well. If we clean our own house, then we don't have to worry about others pointing out the dirt.

      THIS IS TO KELLYAA, I AM THE POPE. YOU ARE NOW EXCOMMUNICATED. GO BECOME A FILTHY OLD PROTESTANT OR A DEVIL WORSHIPPING MORMON. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PLAYING A LITTLE HIDE THE SALAMI WITH A CUTE LITTLE ALTAR BOY.

    The Roman Catholic Church has for centuries been the largest religious cult in existence. They had signed concordants with the Nazi's, the Italian fascists under Mussolini's reign, the communist party and many other subversive governments throughout the ages. I would be willing to bet they have funded many terrorist organizations such al Al-Quida as well. Homosexuality is the least of the crimes against humanity committed by this 'humanitarian' sect. But he standing topic is the sexual deviant nature of the priesthood...what about the I am sure countless girls who have been victimized by lesbianism within the church. Why is it so much more heinous for a preist to molest then a nun? This whole fallicy that Christ intended celibacy within the body of the church is just that, a falicy. Paul had SUGGESTED celibacy to the church stating that the mind is best kept pure and focused on God to be married to the church and the father in faith. There are no commands within God's word that this must be so.

    I do not understand how any inteligent person can equate an individual within an organisation with the organisation itself, even if that individual is the head of the organisation at any point in time. A basic rule of logic says: a part cannot be equal to the whole. How can one priest or even a hundred priests be equated to the priesthood and much less be equated to the Church? It is not reasonable neither is it fair going by common sense to do the generalisation that is going on around the world today.
    A priest is alleged to be soliciting a young man for homosexual relationship and it is immediately assumed that he is guilty even without trial or attempting to listen to what he has to say. And this is being done by a people who claim to respect the rule of : a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty. . The Vatican wants to probe the incident and the same people are accusiing the vatican of shielding homosexuals in its ranks. Where is justice and fairness to both the accused and the Church. People, do not become irrational because you believe you have a grouse against either the Church or her officials. Get real and be fair and reasonable. Do not talk rubbish just because it has become fashionable to bash the Catholic Church

    I think that anyone who is is a position to lead people should be held to a higher standard than the average man on the street. If we would start making examples of these men/women who take advantage of others because of the position they are in they might think twice if the punishment was twice the penality. Teachers, priest, policemen, preachers anyone that "should know better" should get twice the punishment.

    I LOVE BIG OLD STINKY TITTIES.

    All you people are idiots. Quit posting your stupid pointless jibberish on here. Everyone knows the internet is for half-wit morons making fun of everything and everyone. That being said.... Man, that pope wears a funny hat. And his dress, come on, clearly designed by a bunch of silly old Queens. Michaelangelo was a cross dresser, and started the North American Man Boy Love Association. He married a 6 year old boy, then went on to become the first pope.

      Why would we do that? Then you wouldn't receive the attention that you soooo desparately need. :)

    I AM THE POPE. I COMMAND ALL OF YOU TO TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES AND RUN NAKED THROUGH THE STREETS. I DEMAND SACRIFICE ! BRING ME BEER AND BEEF JERKY. I LOVE TITTIES. YES , THAT IS CORRECT, THE POPE LOOOOOOOVESSS TITTIES, ESPECIALLY BIG FAT ONES.

    hmmm I'll post later. But to loneeagle and tradcath the catholic church never in history was true and biblical. it began by mixing biblical truths with pagan delights to make "christianity" more palatable to the natives near and far. for instance does the bible now or even THEN endorse praying to mary or patriarchs in the bible? does the bible endorse baptizing infants? does the bible FORBID a man desiring spiritual leadership to remain unmarried? (in fact it says a man must be the husband of one wife). did peter or paul or john or james pray to the old testament patriarchs? or did they pray to the Father? (God). how did jesus instruct them to pray when they asked? start there with answers. i'll be back later.

    Catholics dont eat fish on friday. They eat hot dogs. This is clear evidence that they are all gay.

    TO THE WORLD:
    DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF WHICH EVER PERSUASION YOU ARE; LISTEN REALLY GOOD OKAY!
    FIRST OF ALL, MSGR. STENICO TRIED TO SERVE GOD. MOST OF THE WORLD EVERYDAY DOES JUST THAT. SECOND, MSGR. STENICO SHOULD BE REINSTATED BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIN IN DEFINING GOD FOR A NON DEFINED WORLD. I DO NOT KNOW STENICO BUT I KNOW GOD AND HE IS ABOUT MERCY. WE ALL SCREW UP ALL OF THE TIME. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU MESS UP AGAIN, CRY OR BEG FOR MERCY. THREE, THE CHURCH SHOULD PROVIDE COUNSELING AND EMBRACE HIM AS A BROTHER . HE WAS TRYING TO FACE AND DEFEAT THE TEMPTATION OF SIN INSIDE WHAT WE ALL SHARE, OUR IMMORTALITY. WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND WE ARE ALL HUMAN. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHICH RACE, COLOR, CREED, PERSUASION, ETC. THE NEXT TIME YOU MESS UP, TELL YOUR BOSS YOU WANT TO BE FIRED BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE MEDIA (SORRY) IS DOING TO STENICO. HE TOOK A VOW OF POVERTY, CHASITY AND WELL FOLLOWING THE BIG TEN COMMANDMENTS. SO IF WE CONDEMN STENICO WE CONDEM GOD BECAUSE STENICO IS ATTEMPTING TO SERVE GOD AND THAT IS A HECK OF ALOT BETTER THAN SOME BODY RESTING IN SOME PRIVATE COUNTRY CLUB NEAR AUGUSTA GA.

      Yes you are right God is merciful and forgiving. We have no right to judge anyone because that is God's job to do. We don't have a heaven nor a hell to put anyone. Yes the church should embrace him, but he should step down until he can deal with the problems inside of him. It's one thing to be gay, but it is another to be a pedifile. Who you have consentual sex with is between you and God, but when you prey on minors it is not consentual. Would you want him to counsel your son if you had one. Think on that for a moment. I know I wouldn't.
