Gross Immorality
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has voiced doubts as to whether St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, in County Kildare is a suitable place to train priests after it has been alleged that a number of the seminarians were using a homosexual social-media website which, the Archbishop states, “would be fostering promiscuous sexuality, which is certainly not in any way the mature vision of sexuality one would expect a priest to understand”. He has actually gone as far as to send some students to the Irish College in Rome rather than leave them at Maynooth.
Such a sad, sordid matter is a shame to relate, but it serves to emphasise the extent to which the practice of enforced clerical celibacy helps to nurture deviance and immorality in the Roman priesthood and in those who aspire to it. It also highlights the terrible dangers associated with many social-media websites.
At the same time, it has been revealed that the Anglican Bishop of Grantham, Nicholas Chamberlain, is a homosexual. Church of England sources say that he is living in “a long-term, committed” – yet apparently “celibate” – relationship. It is believed Dr Chamberlain is the first Church of England bishop to admit publicly to being a sodomite. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, was fully aware of this when he ordained Dr Chamberlain to his position last year and has even stated that “his sexuality is completely irrelevant to his office”. Those who take the Bible’s position on such matters to be authoritative can only be disgusted with Dr Welby’s grossly unbiblical approach to this matter. It is, on the other hand, no surprise to see such sinful toleration of atrocious moral evil in the Church of England, now so far advanced in its declension. AWM
