It's not homo if you don't kiss |
I like the comment by one of the Gay Christians. "It's not gay
if you don't kiss" is what it amounts to.
"This has got nothing to do with homosexuality.
It's just boys' pranks."
<rofl!>

Vatican gags sex scandal bishop
An investigator sent by the Vatican to look into a sex scandal at
seminary in Austria has banned the local bishop from talking to the
media.
Bishop Klaus Kueng, who was named as investigator by Pope John Paul
II, said the gagging order was necessary to halt the damage being done
by the scandal.
Photographs have appeared in Austrian media of clerics at St Poelten
seminary kissing and fondling student priests.
Local bishop Kurt Krenn caused outrage by describing the incidents as
pranks.
The director of the Roman Catholic priests' training college and his
assistant have already resigned, but Bishop Krenn has so far resisted
calls by some of his congregation to quit his post.
The appointment of Bishop Kueng, of the Austrian city of Feldkirch, by
the Pope followed a 27-year-old Polish student from the seminary being
charged with the possession and distribution of child pornography.
The affair has shocked Austria and embarrassed the Catholic Church.

Polish archbishop quits in sex row
A Polish archbishop under investigation by the Vatican has resigned
amid accusations that he molested young clerics.
Underground tunnel
Archbishop Paetz has been accused by fellow priests of paying night
visits to the lodgings of seminarians, cuddling up to young clerics in
public and using an underground tunnel to pay unannounced visits to
his targets.
He is the highest-ranking prelate to be brought down by a scandal of
this kind since Austrian Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer was forced to
give up all his duties in 1998, amid allegations that he had molested
young boys.

Sex scandal in Austrian seminary
By Ian Traynor
Vienna
July 14, 2004
The Austrian Catholic Church has been plunged into its second big sex
scandal in a decade when a seminary run by arch-conservatives was
alleged to be the site of orgies among young priests and their
teachers.
The church announced yesterday that it would investigate charges of
homosexuality between priests and seminarians at a seminary outside
Vienna.
A church panel in the Sankt Poelten diocese west of the capital agreed
to the inquiry after the news magazine Profil published photographs
showing leading clerics of the local seminary fondling and kissing
student priests.
Profil said investigators had also found at least 40,000 mostly
pornographic photographs at the seminary.
The director of the seminary and his assistant have both quit as
details of the scandal emerged in recent days. The seminary in St
Poelten, west of Vienna, comes under the authority of the conservative
Bishop Kurt Krenn.
While the Austrian Bishops' Conference issued a statement declaring
that homosexuality and pornography had no place at the seminary,
Bishop Krenn refused to resign and appeared to compound the crisis by
saying: "This has got nothing to do with homosexuality. It's just
boys' pranks."

Polish Archbishop Resigns in Wake of Sex Abuse Scandal
By REUTERS
Filed at 7:45 a.m. ET
WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish archbishop accused of molesting young
priests quit on Thursday, bowing to pressure to end the worst sex
scandal to hit the powerful Roman Catholic church in Poland.
Archbishop Juliusz Paetz, 67, told a gathering of clerics in his
Poznan diocese in western Poland he was
leaving his post to protect the ``unity and stability'' of the church,
The Vatican in Rome confirmed Polish-born Pope John Paul had accepted
the resignation of Paetz, who worked closely with him from 1978-1982,
organizing the Pontiff's extensive travels. The Pope has not commented
on the scandal in his native land.
A newspaper report last month saying Paetz forced trainee priests and
young clerics into homosexual acts created the biggest storm yet over
the behavior of churchmen in Poland, where the Catholic hierarchy
still has enormous influence. ``This should clear the air within the
Catholic Church in Poland. The Pope treated this situation very
seriously, as you can see from how quickly he acted to bring it to an
end,'' KAI chief Marcin Przeciszewski said.
Paetz was accused by fellow priests of paying night visits to the
lodgings of seminarians, cuddling up to young clerics in public and
using a 200 meter (yard) underground tunnel to pay unannounced visits
to his targets in their dormitory.
Paetz became the highest ranking churchman entangled in sex abuse
allegations since Austrian Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer stepped down
after molestation charges in 1995.
