Outing Roman Catholic Clergy

Yes, it's a boring day at work, so I began surfing to pass the time. Clicking through a number of sites discussing the most recent threats by the RC Bishops in DC and other clergy in LGBT battleground states, I found this.
ChurchOuting.org - Why Church Outing?
For generations, in Catholic churches across the country, LGBT youth are told they should be ashamed of who they are and that they should lead loveless lives as social and religious abominations. The emotional, psychological and spiritual abuse inflicted on them by Catholic priests and our church hierarchy is in reality as damaging as the physical or sexual child abuse anyone would quickly condemn. Yet to this abuse, few raise their voices and say "ENOUGH!"

It is shameful that in many Catholic churches, this abuse is being supported by men, who are gay themselves, leading closeted lives of self-persecution and quiet desperation.

Even more shameful, is that many of these priests, while remaining silent, actually lead duplicitous lives rich with romantic and sexual relationships -- both homosexual and heterosexual.

This hypocrisy must end.
I say it's about time to address this and go public with those closeted clergy who demonize others for who G*d made them to be.

Pay them a visit HERE.

I gotta get out of here soon. More later.
