VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has been quoted in a soon-to-be published book as saying that having gays in the clergy “is something that worries me” and remarking that some societies are considering homosexuality a “fashionable” lifestyle.
Italian daily Corriere della Sera’s website Saturday ran excerpts of the book in the form of an interview that Francis gave about religious vocations. Francis was quoted as describing homosexuality within the walls of seminaries, convents and other religious places where clergy live as “a very serious question.”
===========================================
I think Your Holiness is picking up on this a little late in the game. Maybe he's behind in reading his mail.

While I like this Pope more than most in the past, it is beyond ludicrous that the Pope would proclaim this as if it just dawned on him. When you intentionally and purposely restrict the priesthood to men who can refrain from women for their entire lives - just who in the heck do you think you are attracting?

What's beyond ludicrous is the idea that this Pope is responsible for a decision made about a thousand years ago and shouldn't acknowledge and try to correct it.
the current pope is a disgrace
Priestly celibacy was not on those stone tablets that Moses schlepped down Mt. Sinai.

The current Pope is the best in generations, and the most likely to institute much-needed reforms.
Hell, Christ Himself could come down out of a cloud into the Vatican and lots of Catholics would complain. My aunts thought the Church went to hell in a handbasket when they stopped saying Mass in Latin.

To their credit, I was never bothered during my years as an altar boy. And when you're in the rectory helping the priest get enrobed, you're pretty vulnerable as there is near total privacy behind the altar.

Those Vatican Councils were equal to the equivalent of rearranging the deck furniture. The Church at its roots remains frozen in the Middle Ages.
So if the 'current Pope is a disgrace', which one do you prefer?

No. I can't be arsed to look it up but it happened in the Middle Ages sometime.
The Pope should be worried about PEDOPHILES instead. The majority of pedophiles are heterosexual, married and have families.

The majority of abuse (I think around 80% iirc) wasn't pedophilia. It was homosexual men abusing 12-17 yo.
