The Tenth Crusade

I've been saying this for a looonng time...
Fr. Pokorsky's article at the Catholic Thing repeats something I've been saying for a long time: When a priest claims to be “gay and proud,” he is revealing that he has assented to his same-sex attraction.
He's saying "I'm lost control over sexual impulses and have decided to let lust run its course".
He's saying "I'm sexually attracted to your husband and sons."
He's as dangerous as a priest who announces he's sexually attracted to married women.
Fr. Pokorsky proposes several duties of his bishop which are all excellent.
I'd add immediate suspension of his faculties and intense spiritual and psychological therapy.

As someone who is celibate, yet who is still attracted to women, this seems to be a salient point:
He's saying "I've lost control over sexual impulses and have decided to let lust run its course".
This is exactly what is intended to be encouraged by the hierarchy. It is what communion for abandoners is about and what support for living as Brother and Sister is about. Make no mistake about it. It is encouraging lust; which is difficult enough on its own, without making excuses/justifications for it.

The priest in question is no difference that a husband who announces to the world that is heterosexual and indifferent to the rule of chastity implied in his marriage.
Yes they seem to think that chastity do not apply to them
