Thank you, Fr, for such an illuminating and revealing piece. First, given the support for homosexual proclivities in the western Church, how do you explain McCarrick’s laicization by Pope Francis? Also, given the legalization of gay marriage in 2015 and mainstream society’s acceptance of the LGBTQ lifestyle, there is less reason to remain closeted, so hasn’t this resulted in a more conservative, heterosexual seminarian population in recent years?

Gene provides a glimpse of freshness to the Gospel. If you or someone you know ever experienced sexual abuse by clergy contact Gene. He will bring Hope and hopefully healing to too many already broken lives or wounded hearts.
