This a long video but well worth watching. The researcher makes a good case against ordaining gay men with facts and figures. He also gives the bad news that, although sexual abuse by priests had been declining due to the ordination of straight priests, sexual abuse by clergy has been increasing again. He says this is occurring because many dioceses are not putting the precautions against sexual abuse into place and/or not practicing the precautions consistently.
The priest makes the same point that I made in my last Guam Daily Post column; viz. that pedophilia was NOT the moving factor for the majority of clergy sex abuse cases. I didn't go on to name the "thing" as this priest does, I merely suggested that the reader put 2 and 2 together. However, even the suggestion got my column cancelled. How dare anyone suggest the truth when it comes to this "thing."
