Tom Roeser on same-sex attraction in all-male seminaries:
[S]eminaries provide an attractive and welcoming association of young men, many of whom have the same associations-and makes them want to be priests since identical associations can be cultivated.
Like meets like. They don’t dream of Jeanie with light brown hair but of each other. Tempting, I presume.
If the hierarchy does not understand this-and there is ample reason to believe the hierarchy [in Chicago] does not-there is no hope for reform.
He argues for de-celibating the priesthood.
