The Eastern Rite Churches that never adopted celibacy do not have a clerical sex abuse problem like the Roman Catholic Church. Over 80% of abuse victims are boys and young men. Also, today, except in Africa and Asia, over 80% of RC bishops, priests, and seminarians are homosexuals. 73% of gay men admit to having come on to teenage boys. By giving RC the option to marry, it will greatly reduce the number of gay bishops and priests unless the gay pope and his gay clergy can change Catholic theology to accept homosexual behavior as normal and healthy as the married love between one man and one woman. If a 30-40-year-old Episcopal priest or Protestant minister is not married and not dating women, members of his congregation will assume he's gay. Catholics would like to believe that their clergy have given up having a wife and children to follow Christ, but that's not the case. Most of their clergy are not only homosexuals, but most of them are sexually active, having sex with other Catholic clergy or non-clergy as was the case with Grindr Msgr. Jeffrey Burrill (See: https://www.complicitclergy.com/2025/04/15/priest-claims-gay-data-app-cost-him-his-promotion-to-bishop/). As long as the pope is a homosexual, he will not want to change the celibacy requirement which allows him and other gay clergy to live very comfortably in the closet. The fact too that at any given moment in time, no more than half of all Catholic clergy are practicing celibacy, and no more than 2% of Catholic clergy can say that they never violated their vows of celibacy/chastity throughout their entire lives, supports documentation that celibacy has never REALLY been practiced in the RC Church. Consider the fact that apart from Pope St. Pius V, almost every pope in the 16th century was a sexually active homosexual (like Julius III, Leo X, etc.) or heterosexual (many who had a number of children like many African and Asia bishops and priests today). Why are seminarians not told that they only have around a two percent chance of maintaining their vows of celibacy/chastity throughout their entire lives? When the Cardinal in charge of the Congregation of the Clergy (who monitors all the personal problems of priests) was asked what he had to say about these statistics compiled by reputable researchers, he responded, "I have no reason to doubt their validity." If you ask a priest who has been ordained at least 20-25 years about these statistics, he will offer a similar response. Did you ever wonder why in Judaism, celibacy was not adopted or encouraged? Manyt Catholics today do not want to admit that the pope and most clergy (outside of Africa and Asia) are homosexuals, just like they don't want to admit how their priests truly struggle with celibacy. One-third of my seminary class left before ordination, mainly to marry. A second one-third lift after ordination, mainly to marry. The majority of the last third that did not leave are either homosexuals still engaged in ministry, or homosexuals who were removed for preying on young men and boys. There are less than diocesan 40 priests remaining in our diocese, and there are 51 who were removed from ministry after being credibly accused of abuse. The two seminarians we had both left the seminary after they were propositioned by gay faculty members and seminarians. You are very naive if you think that celibacy is being practiced by seminarians before they are ordained or after they are ordained. Current court cases and lawsuits filed by former seminarians who left formation support what I have written above (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZGU4EwL47U)

I think that is also what Randy Engle was led to believe after all her research.

Where did I write about Mohammed? Did you get me confused with another writer? If you go through my writings at www.gomulka.net, the only reference I may have made could have been how Islam does not accept homosexual behavior and only allows abortion in cases where a mother’s physical life is at risk. Can you name the article involving Mohammed?

One wife and mother wrote that she finds that her homosexually oriented priest is psychologically incapable of relating to her and her family. No pro-family, pro-life homilies. She wrote that many people have left their parish because of his inabilty to help themgrow spiritually. I told her that a priest who has truly given up having a wife and children because he felt he had a VOCATION from Christ to "Come follow me" is going to be more dedicated than a man who became a priest to hide his homosexuality and who enjoys leading a comfortable life.

Our holy and happy young man left seminary after one year because he was passed over for advancement to seminary college despite good grades, a spotless record, and recognition for leadership and service. It was passive retaliation after he reported his spiritual director for creepy and depraved sexual misconduct. From the descriptions I got, living at this landmark PA (allegedly conservative leaning) seminary was more like living in a gay frat house. Jesus weeps. His Church is deathly ill.

I'm going to guess your "happy young man" attended St. Charles in Philadelphia? See: https://catholicphilly.com/2018/08/news/local-news/philadelphia-archdiocese-said-to-be-looking-at-sexual-harassment-claims/

Reread the paragraph with the Mohammad reference and it was the janitor who called M a prophet of God. Given the tenets Islam is not a religion of peace as so often referred to nor is M a prophet of God the Father.

Two comments:

Since you served in Altoona, did you know Father Raymond Crosser? He along with Augustinian Father Blase Zeiser are my father’s both paternal and maternal first cousins.

On your recent writing on PF you equated Mohammad to a great spiritual leader. This is a complete fallacy. This so called spiritual leader imposes slavery, murder, sexual abuse of children and monetary tribute on all not of Islam aka the Kafir aka Infidel. That includes all Jews and Christians. I wonder if it is more appropriate to equate M to a follower of the trickster himself. No greater example is what has been recently unleashed in Syria, Africa and England.

I knew of Father Ray Crosser, but I never had any interactions with him. I only served within the diocese from 1975 to 1980. I found the “Mohammad” reference. You misquoted me when you said that I “equated Mohammad to a great spiritual leader.” Why would you do that? I simply wrote that the janitor correctly identified Christianity as superior to Judaism and Islam because Jesus is God unlike in Judaism and Islam where Jews and Muslims revere Moses and Mohammad” as “prophets “ who theologically are defined as “people who speak for God.” This is why a Christian would disagree with George Burns in the movie “O God” in which Burns, in the roll of God, equated Jesus with Moses and Mohammed. My point was that Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox theologians believe that Pope Francis is not distinguishing clearly between Catholicism and other world religions. Having taught at St. Francis Seminary before leaving the diocese in 1980, I would probably recommend holding up a seminarian for ordination if he could not distinguish clearly between the beliefs of different religions, or if he believed.what you accused me of saying.

Mr G. You are correct I misquoted you but corrected my misquote immediately and posted it. I am sorry you missed it. It was the janitor who you wrote about that mentioned Mohammad. I bought the media narrative too about the religion of peace until researching history and evidence appeared currently to the contrary confirmed Islam’s history. I lived 9/11 because I lived in a community in PA in train commuter distance to NYC. Personal tragedy was all around in my neighborhood, parish church, and child’s high school.

Father Ray was a wonderful priest. He lived until he was 93. I talked to him often and visited him in Altoona. His family/my family emigrated from Germany in 1852 to Summerhill PA. My grandfather (his uncle) at ten stood on a hill and watched the Johnstown flood unfold. Anyway, thanks for your writing on PF. I just recently wonder what you have written about him. Just finished reading Imaculee Ilibagiza’s book Left To Tell and being aware of the BVM’s warnings about Rwanda and aware of the other papacy prophecies - waiting on the Lord.

Jo1950, Thank you for sharing your story about Father Ray and your grandfather who witnessed the Johnstown Flood. I watched the 1977 Johnstown flood that was broadcast on Swiss television when I was visiting friends in Luzern, Switzerland. I was glad that my parents were safe who were living in Morrellville at that time. If you would like to read more of what I have written about PF, please go to: https://johneighteenthirtyseven.substack.com/publish/posts and/or www.gomulka.net. God bless you and yours.

No need to reply but the Johnstown my grandfather witnessed was the 1889 one. However the 1977 one was need to me. So thanks. I email my sister who does our genealogy. Many family members in Cambria Co in 1977.

I assumed it was the 1889 flood he witnessed. My mom who was born in 1921 recounted how her family moved a number of times when she was growing up because of being impacted by a flood. She said she attended different grade schools until she had to forego attending high school in order to work during the Depression in a candy factory in Cleveland. She would send money home to Johnstown to help support her parents and three other sisters. A family genealogy is very important. Mine dates back to the late 19th century when my grandparents left Poland (which was then Austria-Hungary) and settled in the Minersville section of Johnstown where my grandfather opened up a Polish meat and grocery store. Pass your family’s stories on to your children and grandchildren. Have a great weekend!

Francis and the leadership of the Church are the reason I find attending Mass to be bereft of meaning. Even the changes to the Mass itself irritate me. The homilies are insipid and secular. I am sad at these turns.

"When talking to a group of students about different world religions, he explained, using the spokes on a bicycle wheel, that while there are different paths to God, he finds Catholic Christianity to be infinitely superior to other paths because Jesus is God incarnate and not just a prophet like Moses or Mohammed who speaks for God."

While very respectful and appreciative of your content, there is NO other way to the Triune God accept through the Incarnational Christ.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t read the whole article because the story is too putrid for me to continue. That male should never have been ordained. God will make it right in His own good time. He always does.
