text: should gays be ordained? (anti-gay individuals do not reply)? earlier this year the vatican issued an order of sorts barring gay men from ordination. this was a reaction to the several priests who have molested young boys, often altar servers over the years. i am not talking about them.  there hundreds if not thousands of priests, bishop's and relegios out there who are gay and you will never hear about them, but the world press is out to make all priests look unworthy.  although i am not attached to rome, but am from an independant jurisdiction, i have seen many rc priests, who have never done anything to anyone that have felt like they are not worth anything for all the service rendered over thier years.  if your going to pick up the anti-gay banner don't answer this question. .our society seems to focus on those who may cause pain to others and therefore judge all that are in that race, culture or now the gay rights issue.  i can only say that i agreed with you.  there are people who are social deviance in every aspect of life.  but, like the old saying goods all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the whole barrel.  we are supposedly to be an intelligent society and should gain insight from past mistakes and not label everyone who is in that genre as equally deviant.
