The Catholic Sex Scandal and More Pro-Life Calls

Let's put it bluntly does the Catholic Church have a problem with homosexual clergy will cover that talk more about pro-life stories that will change your heart, your mind is time for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH index 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown friendship if you missed yesterday's radio broadcast.

It was really happening. Event we were flooded with calls all phone lines lit up. We asked for folks to call in France to call in who had abortions in their past either. Mother that aborted her baby or a father that paid for participating and encouraged the abortion I did know how many folks would call him because he says it's sensitive difficult issues.

After my 30 minute interview with Justin Reeder of love life going on over North Carolina this Saturday major events as we were finished talking and talking about the powerful pro-life movement in making a redemptive difference in so many lives. I said the second half hour to show if you want call if you had an abortion if you want to raise your voice to warn others.

Please do the phone lines lit up the phone lines were jammed just about to the end of the broadcast.

And II had a fight back breaking down crying listening to some of the callers as they solved and wept on the broadcast friends. This is a message of life. This is a message of hope.

This is the message of redemption and we want to give you an opportunity while you try to call yesterday and were not able to get on the show over and unable to get through.

Give us a call today 866-34-TRUTH 866-348-7884 is the number to call and you can call in anonymously we had folks we didn't get to that want to share about a daughter having an abortion or others in their own personal experience, but the voices we heard yesterday. Poignant, powerful, moving, stirring finish the show and said to myself this is why we do live talk radio and all of you that listen all of you that watched yesterday. I'm sure you are impacted along with me and along with so many others I literally believe lives were saved yesterday. I truly genuinely honestly believe that there were people that were listening that God had listed who knows me will get a call in a few weeks from someone who was on the way to an abortion clinic accidentally flipped on the radio to our network, heard us talking and ended up turning around. Perhaps will hear from that three-person in the weeks ahead. Again, 866-348-7884 but first we want to talk about another issue in a sentence totally unrelated. In a sense it's related and this has to do with the problem of homosexuality in Catholic clergy that let me say this to all of you who are Catholic and who were very discouraged by the state of the church. You may not like the direction of Francis is going.

You may be grieved over all the sexual abuse scandals in field are not being dealt with properly. May I encourage you that Jesus didn't failure even if Catholic leaders did. Even if you feel the church did. As a whole is not the church of Jesus. The church of Jesus is not a Catholic or Protestant. It is all those who know him and are in him and would been forgiven and are his people. So Jesus didn't failure you can find Jesus outside some the traditions you been raised in, and you'll find them to be faithful and true again.

He doesn't ever fail us quite so what about the sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. They are normally written off as the system as it was homosexuality. This is just a matter of pedophilia and there's no connection and a and a pedophile can abuse either way. Either direction, and that that has nothing to do with the sexual orientation desire this just a perverse thing, etc. we all agree it's perverse. It's ugly terrific. For those of you who are victims of child abuse or only you can can understand the depth of scarring and pain that you've been through and suffered because of those things in here to God can restore and God can heal and God can help bring life in recovery at home is an strength that will minimize the evil we will minimize the damage we help minimize the ugliness of the sent but the fact is, the great majority of abuse is found not in say a Catholic priest abusing a three-year-old, but rather a Catholic priest abusing a 14-year-old, and is overwhelmingly male on male. Therefore homosexual problem that I wrote an article that we posted on our website a few months back asking the question, does the Catholic Church have a homosexual problem and I quoted in the article, Cardinal Raymond Burke who said this was clear.

After the studies follow the 2002 sexual abuse crisis. The most of the acts of abuse were in fact homosexual acts committed with adolescent young men was still attempting to overlook or to deny this. Now it seems clear in light of these recent terrible scandals that indeed there is a homosexual culture not only among the clergy, but even within the hierarchy which needs to be purified is the root. It is of course the tendency that is this order right now. Why am I bringing all this up now because there is an edict from the Vatican to bishops in America.

Catholic bishops in America to hold off on some of the disciplinary disciplinary measures and other measures that they're going to put forth to deal with this crisis Catholic Church in America and that's cause further dissent. So, in light of this news. I will address the suppression friends.

My goal is just to tell the truth. My goal is just to lay out the facts. I'm not Catholic I'm not saying this is an insider nor my saying this is a Catholic basher if you listen to the show, you know that that is not my ammo and that I do not devote shows two critiquing Catholicism yes I'm deep and profound differences with aspects of Catholicism, but my my recently on the radio and writing. It is, is not primarily to befall the Catholic Church and we have Catholic listeners that enjoy the broadcast and Catholic supporters that appreciate her ministry right so I I'm listen. I did write a book exposing sin of the Catholic Church. I wrote a book exposing sin of the charismatic church was as an insider I were playing with holy fire to address problems in the charismatic Pentecostal church which included sexual morality. But there is a specific issue having to do with homosexual clergy. There is an article up on the stream and it has this title, the Rocky horror bishops show many bishops don't understand the roots of sex abuse so the article written by Catholic author John grew Vino goes onto to say this and it's it is quite striking. He says what was a key driver of clergy sexual abuse. A depraved seminary culture which corrupted future priests forming in them a hedonistic, largely homosexual environment, solos, rights without the influence of the homosexual subculture's concentration of homosexual men in the priesthood would not have led to his large an increase in minor sex abuse proved to be the case. The report agrees with the conclusion of the 2011 John Jay report that homosexual activity during seminary was significantly related to the increased likelihood of a male child victim solos, documents, a clear pattern going back to the early 50s through talking 70 years now. It shows that the incidence of sexual abuse tracked almost perfectly with one trend that is the increasing presence of homosexual subcultures and seminaries both peeking and the 80s.

If you want a vivid depiction of the subcultures. I recommend reading Michael Rose's by good man book. I haven't read that book will in this article, there is a link to the report and and I want to get to this report. In a moment and just lay out the truth so that we understand what you're dealing with now, in my view, one of the big problems here is required. Celibacy why because celibacy is not a gift that every Christian leader is going. Let's just say that every Catholic priest of the world was born again, saved knew the Lord forgiven individual. Okay, I was it's not the case was let's just say theoretically that was the case, since those are the only ones were allowed to serve in that level of leadership. Those who are celibate it same to all the others who do not have the gift of celibacy who have not been graced like Paul was saying the New Testament so there like Peter, the other apostles that had wives travel with their wives so if that gift is not given to everyone, then you cannot required of everyone without asking for massive problems, be they heterosexual or homosexual, so just like you got scandals in Protestant church and evangelical church charismatic church. You've got scandals with married men having affairs with women.

They're not married to her having homosexual affairs with men or wives having affairs with others.

These things happen.

They're gonna happen all the more. When celibacy is required. They're going to happen on far more extreme level in a case like this it's it's doesn't take a rocket scientist to explain this, that if people who desire to be married or who were not gifted by God to be celibate.

If these people now are required.

If you serve God you have to be single then you have all kinds a rampant stuff going on behind the scenes now let's up the ante let's now say that many men will say if their same-sex attracted but they want to serve in the priesthood. Well, since I can't marry anyway. At least in the eyes the Catholic Church right amid societies made some ridiculous crazy changes there, but it's okay since I can't marry anyway and I feel call them a Muslim priest to assume that you got all these men were same-sex attracted living together in different settings seminary serving by themselves without a spouse right without a wife friends with other priests, same-sex attracted celibate. Your you're asking for trouble here to have that kind of environment especially asserted now add to it and this is where the thing becomes a toxic mix that just explodes add to it. This, namely that the seminaries had a culture actually encourage this or look the other way. Now you have the scandals that were living with his back some data file name the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown so let's hear what Catholic leader has to say.

He's been talking about building bridges with the Catholic Church LGBT community and about being gay Catholics, etc. and conservative Catholic leaders are really speaking out against this Catholic priest James Martin so he was asked this question of interviewers asking him this question on behalf of different people sending in their their inquiries. Francisco is asking how can one respond to persons citing Leviticus and Corinthian tax condemning homosexuality so Leviticus 1822.

It's it's detestable. If a man lies with the men may man lies with a woman Vegas 2013.

That same thing has the death penalty associated with first Corinthians 69 Paul says those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. So how does James Martin Catholic priest James Martin replied, this is what he said yes.

So all these Bible passages that people throw at you. I really need to be understood in their historical context right. I mean, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, and even even the stuff from the New Testament where Paul talks about once or twice has to be understood in the in the historical context of the Bible is written in a particular time is the inspired word of God. It is written, certainly by secular time particular throat will contact certainly in Old Testament times. They didn't understand the phenomenon of homosexuality and bisexuality. I would say as we do today. I also like to say that there's a lot of other stuff Leviticus that we know serve understand in its historical context. Like what kind of slaves can be. Have you whether or not we can wear certain kinds of close will and our crops can be next to one another mean we don't look at those passages in a historical way so why should we look at passages of homosexuality that when I also like to say that in his long ministry is through your public ministry, Jesus says nothing about the top so when people use those those arguments at you I think is an important reminder. One is to remind them that those things need to be understood in their context as we understand everything so when you've got corrupt teaching like that from a Catholic leader adding into the forest celibacy problem which is not biblical. It is on biblical to require leaders to be celibate right so when you got that mix.

There you got people like that with their voices and then you have men, according to all these reports, Cardinals, others who are actively involved in abusive homosexual relations is a abusive because they were that the leaders in the there was people under them, etc. that were that were involved believe there was consensual it was. It was still equally sinful and ugly so when you have all this going on. It's no surprise that you have the scandals that you you've got a real massive problem. He says it. Everybody knows that everybody's at Mohs knows the most, but it's a significant minority of very significant minority and this is really problematic and to make it just a pedophilia problem.

That's not the issue is a homosexual problem within the Catholic Church you support what about the points that James Martin made that I mean are those really issues in Yemen. We don't follow everything Leviticus today and then Paul was writing as a man of his times.

Okay course, we dealt with these over and over.

Or consider this video Kenny began Christian addresses these very issues in just six minutes my book. Kenny began Christian addresses them in great depth going through the.

The relevant literature will give you a heart of compassion for those who struggle with someone, same-sex attraction, but without a doubt their simple answers to these things. For example, the laws, Leviticus about dietary things you can eat this through that truth. Leviticus 11 and then Carolyn Deuteronomy 14 those like him for all people. Those were given specifically for the people of Israel. Just like mixing your field with different kinds of seeds are wearing mixed garments that was like for everyone. Those were not universal moral prohibitions. Those were specifically for Israel to keep them separate from the nations and to teach them certain things about purity and and distinctiveness.

However, the laws, Leviticus 18 which are primarily focused on incest. Those were for all people. At the end of the chapter God says he judge the Canaanites for the sins not only so, but the prohibitions are pretty repeated in the New Testament so there found in the Old Testament as universal moral prohibitions not just for Israel but for all people right if there if it's an abomination for the Canaanites. It's an abomination for the church today right at self-evident and then these things are repeated references in the New Testament, and according to Paul in Romans one that the issue is. This is contrary to God's created order. That doesn't change my culture that doesn't change, but one generation to the next that this is some this is absolutely something that is for all people for all time and it is contrary to God's created order, and therefore wrong.

The idea that Jesus said nothing about this wall. What did Jesus say about beastie reality.

What did Jesus say about beating your wife. What did Jesus say about a bunch of other things that we all agree or or or issues that are repulsive, wrong, ugly Wilson visiting dress because he didn't need to because they had already been definitively addressed in the Hebrew Scriptures and it was a Jewish rabbi who did not come to abolish but to fulfill. But even saying that he did of course address these issues as we pointed out many times, number one by saying he didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill each of the moral requirements of the law to a higher level that it that include standards of sexual purity.

Adultery is not just the act but also in the heart are. So the prohibitions against incest. They don't go away by the way of Leviticus 18 justify today.

What's the scriptural prohibition of incest anybody any good Christian advocate liberal progressive Christian.

Please just let what's the biblical prohibition against incest of Leviticus 18 this and apply today.

Please tell how much time did Jesus talk about that. So it's there for okay is he didn't seriously really okay that's part one part two, Matthew 15, verse 19 Jesus said that is what comes out of the heart that the files is not what goes into the mouth.

Those when you wash your hands before eating meat.

Certain food that doesn't defile your spirit right goes in your mouth and passes your body, but what comes your heart that's with the files. What comes out of the heart is what things like sexual immorality and in and in Greek, it is the word printed in the plural, which means all sexual acts outside of marriage right then.

Then Matthew 19 436. Jesus answers a question about divorce explains the God's intent for marriage from the beginning as one man joins one woman for life. So he lays out the many marriages is also to estimate outside of marriage, defile us and he takes the most into the total high-level so you better believe in the clearest needed terms. The addresses the question homosexual it with you. He did not need to address whatsoever because Jewish teaching of the day was even stronger than the teaching that was found in the Torah and the thing you needed is like asking him do we need to believe in God. We were really clear on that. We stood there, we need to believe the Bible is inspired were really clear on where he stood on the on the Scriptures was called the Bible.

At that time, but the Scriptures know these are self-evident things. All that to say the crisis is definitely here and in the Catholic Church, it is to repeat homosexual crisis is not primarily a pedophile crisis is more specifically homosexual crisis and there is hope and redemption. Salvation for everyone turns to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. That's hundred percent true no matter who you are and are what you've done. The matter where you're coming from, but let me read to you from this report issued D Paul Sullins of the Catholic University of America and Ruth Institute is Catholic clergy sex abuse related to homosexual priests and the executive summary the executive summary to scroll down one page.

This report compares previously unexamined measures of the share of homosexual Catholic priests and the incidence and victim gender of minor sex abuse by Catholic priests from 1950 to 2001 to see if these matters are related to data from the 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury report are also examined. We come back. I want to get into some of the key points about the study and I want to make a personal appeal to all of you listening I just saw on Drudge Report headline that this last year was at 787,800 70,001 those more Americans became millionaires almost a million new millionaires in America this year and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on political campaigns that just ended with these elections that lead us leave us deeply divided here in America. May I propose to you that there is money to be had for the gospel and that it's in our pockets and it's in our bank accounts and that some of you have the ability to help us as we come to the end of the year the year-end tax deductible gift and if you value what we do. We work hard at it. We have a dedicated team. Many work sacrificially and put all kinds of extra hours for the Lord. I appealed you to stand with us.

We are under financial pressure is challenging just to meet needs on a day-to-day basis. Your help would really really go a long way in the best ways is if you think that our service to on radio on Internet by article in other ways you think it's worth a dollar a day or more, torture, monthly support, go to ask Dr. Brown right now. LAS, K, GR, Brown double-click on Joni, monthly support today.

Join our support team member cleansing by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown of your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown (broadcast 86687884 that is the recall if you will. One of our callers yesterday trying to get through to share your own story relative to abortion were only able to get to a few of the calls moving calls powerful calls, life-giving calls if you tried to get through your on hold.

We never got to full monster open 866-34-TRUTH 784 and if you have a general Bible question you been wanting to ask me something that ties in with pro-life for as we are looking now, the issue of homosexuality and the Bible in light of the current crisis within the Catholic Church. Phone lines are open for you as well with your questions. 866-34-TRUTH okay something that is undeniable. I have watched this for many many years now, when you see a denomination say a Presbyterian denomination or Lutheran denomination.

When you see one of these denominations shift and become increasingly liberal. Sometimes it will break off and the conservative group will stay or come up with a new name and the liberal group along with the old day but with the group that becomes liberal, swings liberal invariably you will see the swing on on three major issues. It's gonna happen sooner or later.

Number one, you're going to see that they become pro-abortion. This becomes their stand. This becomes the good thing this becomes the positive thing. This becomes the virtuous thing that someone number 230, to change their views on homosexuality. Jesus did address this. The Bible was speaking of the times even more radically with the Bible, sanctions, love of any kind discloses consensual whatever unified shift. There to the point of of blessing same-sex relationships and even ordaining same secluded then then same-sex attracted clergy.

Those in active relationship associates right so you see the shift in abortion see the shift in homosexual intimacy shift that is because you shift that is is so pronounced that ultimately ultimately it will become so strongly Palestinian that will join with the BDS movement boycott investment sanctions that will turn strongly against Israel. You see that happen. I watched it time and time again.

Now I know individual believers that are strongly pro-life. Other strong on sexual issues and homosexuality. But have compromised my view on Israel I know of individuals like that, but generally speaking, when you see the shift and one you see the shift in the other said, why is that you could just say hey, there are two sides, there's light and darkness there. Satan sign God side and once you get on the wrong side you're on the wrong side or you could say that could be true but could also be when you get away from the literal meaning of Scripture, when you get away from the full authority of Scripture. When you can now change the meaning of major passages and major truth when you can do that could now be that that you can shift on these issues that I say to a great extent.

Yes yes yes for sure that is what happens so you see Catholic Church week on these three issues. It's no surprise as it goes from more conservative to more liberal theologians and leaders. It's only natural that will shift in these directions yesterday friends if you were listening to the line of fire. If you watch the show.

You are probably smooth.

As I was by callers who were not shouting their abortions. They were weeping their abortions.

They were in pain. Some of them over things that happen 40 years ago.

30 years ago and one of the takeaways for me wasn't new but it was a reminder was the church needs to do a much better job of removing the stigma of pregnancy outside of wedlock to the point that someone yes ashamed yes grieved over what they did knows they can come forth and receive healing and receive life and receive love as opposed condemnation.

In other words some new ideas no way I can come forth. My mother will be too upset. My church will be too upset those around Louisville just be too upset so the only solution is don't let anybody know I'm pregnant have an abortion. So yes, the mother was responsible, but others created an environment in which that young mother, older mother, such as no choice. One woman married with two children said her husband was was legalistic or self-righteous. She got raped on a business trip. Thought the snow.

I can tell my husband so you can have an abortion and that led to real problems in her life for many years thereafter will yes gonna be traumatic for a husband to find out the wife was ripped. That's the wife's fault in a maybe 16-year-old girl in church and as your boyfriend go further than intended.

Next and she finds out she's pregnant, like there's no way out diamond everyone will hate me is to stigmatize for life ideas, no way, baby reveille given up for adoption is no way will we have to have as an environment you would take hold is seriously we take righteousness seriously and we absolutely stand for sexual purity, but with some of fall short. We offer them a hand of love and restoration and mercy and compassion say were with you now. You can, you got friends here you've got family with the support you with go ahead and have that baby in it.

If you're not capable of being a mother right now than then let's look into adoption and other things.

This is all been an agonizing experience it and either mistakes made, or if you're a victim that the pain is all all the more intense but hey, let's work together as a community of life. Let's do that 866-34-TRUTH I want to come back in a moment. As we talk about abortion, homosexuality and anti-Israel stands at how you often see the shifts I wanted to share some of these shocking statistics with you from a recent Catholic report done by Catholic professor. But first let's go to the phones we go to Sheila and Texas Sheila, thanks so much for calling the line of fire today. Are you speaking right into the phone.

It's very hard for me.

I got out of there Barry how are out there ago okay, go ahead, Tyler, show yesterday and I went out wanting to talk with you about current airport or terribly extend more than one in 800 having a hard time forgiving myself. I know that I don't even know if God it forgiven me feel really guilty and caulked a lot of emotional stress Sheila. How long ago did you have these abortions count one of the first one I had. I was a teenager my mom actually forced me to get one. Alschuler was a reason for forcing you to get Windows to bring shame on the family was that in order something else while me. I really don't know. I'm only in high school I went going on 17 years old. I really don't know her reason for allowing you know me do something like that and making me believe that it was okay because later on. Knowing my 20 I know had several other abortion and Sheila asked these questions with the goal of helping others to hear and learn.

And then, with the goal of really giving you reassurance about being forgiven. So when when you have the abortion in high school have that affect you back then were you conscious of an effect or do you only learn about it later I learned more about it later, but I knew I was going to depression and chronic harm I wake up at a nightmare and it really affected. I knew then it went. Not right, but I really didn't know the extent as far as what it is you know what God says about it.

I don't know about that, and then in your 20s that was your choice was just even feel like you want to children you are ready to have them what what mood you make those decisions.

Then I like her single I work at Mary and I think you know that I would have a father in my life and not die with no hard on me being still young and try to find a way down and you Sheila. I asked these questions because a lot of folks may be men or couples with happily married for years and they can't relate to this that is sent to some flippant decision that that you were thinking through lots of difficult issues. You made the wrong decisions, but it wasn't just a flippant thing in your dislikes.

Simple birth control method is wrestling with with these issues being single and so on and off and say met many women agonize over the decision and then have the emotional pain afterwards so you mentioned the nightmares you had that as a teenager what it affect you feel that these abortions have had on you emotionally. Over the years, emotional Colby Kirkpatrick. Greek children now, and I think back then I couldn't really had a wonderful family or that would know girl what whether or not it was a girl or boy.

I'd like on I'm missing out on something. You know I mean I had children that I that I got rid Salamanca like America now and of course they met now and it comes unbearable to think about that.

I could have more kids on earth.

And I do that I know that I have going. Sheila, do you believe that Jesus died for those sins that you committed know you admitted in my mind I'm thinking that I know he did. Dr. Mike and and I know there is not like the ultimate enemy, maybe. But I just felt like I I feel and I feel my need to know I want to encourage you to recognize that one of the greatest man who ever lived was Paul the apostle, he wrote basically half of the New Testament.

One of the closest man to God's heart who ever lived. He was involved in killing followers of Jesus adults. Adults.

He was involved in doing that. And God forgave him and he said he acted in ignorance and unbelief is wrong, and ugly. Jesus died for that. Just like every other sin. Just like that. So put your full trust in what he doesn't want you to be Mildred wants you to know that you know that your forgiven and that this new life and his son, in your words will save lives today.

It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown friends once more to everyone listening struggle with the guilt of abortion. There is forgiveness in Jesus. No, I can't relate to.

Personally, I'm not a mother, things will never be able to relate to us as a man, but for sure there are things that all of us have done that are grievous and ugly. Is it will not like that ought understand I'm not I'm not in any way seeking to make light of the gravity the sin of abortion, but I'm saying that sin is ugly in God's sight is sin is is ugly that we could ever imagine. And yet Jesus died percent.

All sin. If we turn to him in repentance.

If we say God forgive me wash me clean. He will give that sin and revenue having guilt you might just have this sense of loss and with it a sense of purpose to to bring life to others. But this can be different from that nagging guilt that makes you think that God's holiness against you. He doesn't hold it against you if you've truly been forgiven in Jesus is not holding it over your head, so don't hold it over your own head sense of loss could always be there sense of what if could always be there, sense of regression. Not a sense of guilt that alienates you from the Lord. We were one more call than I want to share some very important information with you. We go to Tennessee Debbie, welcome to the line of fire. Thanks so much for calling. Corrected here I wanted to cry right now about manufacturing embarking on my parent.

I'm I just thought strikes me with the with the shout abortion movement put together a compilation called weep your abortion is people write and tell their stories and just put it as an e-book or something like that if you got a story we stricken them and just go to the website asked Dr. Brown.org. Click on contact if you want to share your story make halfpage of five pages of with lessons for others. We get enough of them will put a mouse, a compilation all right back to the current crisis in the Catholic Church. The new report that has been issued by D. Paul Sullins of the Catholic University of America and the Ruth Institute asking the questions Catholic Church the clergy sex abuse related to homosexual priests will want to read again the executive summary and then some shocking stats here so it states this report compares previously unexamined measures of the share of homosexual Catholic priests and the incidence and victim gender by sex abuse by Catholic priests from 19 52,000 want to see if these matters related to data from the 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury report or also examine key points.

Are you ready one clergy sex abuse still a problem since peaking 35 years ago. It has declined much less than commonly thought that the client is consistent with an overall drop in sexual assault in American society. Number two since 2002 abuse has been rising amends sides of complacency by church leaders today is comparable to the early 1970s that there is a lot allies get destroyed front number three. The share of homosexual men in the priesthood rose from twice that of the general population in the 1950s 28 times the general population in the 1980s. This trend was strongly correlated with increasing child sex abuse what you expect the recipe for disaster before 1/4 priests ordained in the late 1960s report, the existence of a homosexual subculture in their seminary rising to over half of priests ordained in the 1980s who report the existence homosexual subculture and their seminary.

This trims also strongly correlated with increasing child sex abuse again. How could it not be number four number five. Excuse me for at a five victims over age 7 were boys. Only one in five were girls, ease of access to boys.

Both of the girls account for about 1/5 of this disparity, the number of homosexual priests accounts for the remaining 4/5 was the reason it so many more boys being abuse in girls is because of a disproportionate number of homosexual priests. Number six estimates from these findings predict that has a proportion of homosexual priests remains the 1950s level at least 12,000 fewer children, mostly boys would have suffered abuse 12,000 fewer children, mostly boys would've suffered abuse friends. These are devastating statistics. This is in harmony with the earlier reports via Catholic leaders or the mainstream media, which can't acknowledge the reality here.

It keeps getting turned into a pedophilia problem or it's not primarily, that is primarily homosexual problem now for those hearing me don't read something to my words. I must say this is not to say that homosexual men are more evil than heterosexual men that if all the Catholic clergy was heterosexual men that there'd be no problem. No you because they're forced to be celibate. You just have all kinds of other sexual scandals, all right, but the ongoing abuse of minors is no question directly tied to this homosexual cut subculture in the seminaries for a week in theology that accepted some of these things for corrupt leadership that looked the other way. That's true. Now it's mainly Catholic leaders Catholic conservatives who were raising their voices who are speaking out like my color John's Merrick at the stream is been a constant loud voice a prophetic voice to the Catholic Church about these issues. I will address them all that much more major reason being that I'm not Catholic, but as this is in the news again this week because of the Vatican telling American bishops slow down in terms of exercising certain things, bringing them into some new disciplinary procedures, etc. slowdown.

These new measures stop right now it's back in the news this report just came into the news. It's really important that we get the truth out about this. May I speak totally straight and clear.
