catholicism @ciggysmokebringer yeah, the psychology behind that is bizaar, i mean historically many (closeted) gay men were Cath Priests/monks, (same with les nuns ) consensual gay sex in the monasteries and missions is long documented, but to be an openly gay person who wants to be a priest today, idk, i guess sexual orientation has nothing to do with religious convictions

i don't want to say every person who becomes or aspires to become a priest is a p.o.s. but it's also a safe assumption to make, and it's not 'religious bigotry' either, clergy are a
class of people, a very powerful and dangerous class of people... I have many friends and family who are Catholic, in most cases i'd take a Catholic over an Evangelical in terms of who has a more humane and coherent worldview, but wouldn't come within 20 feet of a Catholic Priest lol and just being gay doesn't turn you into some kind of hero in itself
