Moral highground: totally evaporated.
If only the Catholic masses in Latin America & Africa could hear all this, we might actually see the Vatican going into total freefall.
Regarding the two fine Fathers catching a Broadway show: Some gay priests that I have met are so ignorant of gay culture that they have no idea what closeted clichés they are.
I've spent time with 3 young priests and monks as they sang show tunes at the top of their lungs, argued about the artistic merits of Shakira vs. Kylie Minogue, and spoke to each other in jokey/not-jokey falsetto. I was waiting for them to call each other "Mary". They didn't know any out gay people.
And while you can't define sexual orientation solely on a man's opinion of Judy Garland, it struck me that they were so ignorant of gay culture they didn't realize that singing show tunes between passionate discussions about the evils of gay marriage might seem ironic. All identified as straight.
Anyone dealing meth and having sex in the workplace should get fired.
Oh God, Cardinal Egan. The Church covered for child molesters. Cat's out of the bag. Damage control is not pretending it didn't happen. Damage control is apologizing and putting this as right as they can be put!
The Inquisition is a hard act to follow. I give this only 3 stars. If you examine the actual beliefs of this religion, it's difficult to be impressed by sexual peccadillos.
I was taught, for example, that I would go to an eternity of torture in Hell for eating one small piece of meat on Friday without repentance (this law is no longer on the books after Vatican II, poor consolation to those doing time on a meat rap, as George Carlin or Dick Gregory pointed out). I believed what I was told for quite awhile.
You need drugs to believe that stuff, or you need drugs if you believe that stuff.
Daily mass, confessions, baptisms, funerals, and visiting the sick just don't cut it anymore.
When we meet in Hell Mr. Egan, I will ask you if you still agree with that retraction.

It's the "Headline of the Day, Week, Month, Year, Decade,etc..." if perversion and deviancy is your thing. Good for you, Danny.

Protestants have been telling you for centuries that the Catholic Church is the Kingdom of Beelzebub on Earth. Danny must not have gotten the memo.
