All those peas in the same pod

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.
