"I have been told...."
Which sums up the situation perfectly
Whatever we "know" about homosexuality in the church is based on non-information and assumption
Thanks to prejudice and persecution, we don't know how many homosexuals there are - full stop.
If that is the situation in "real life" how on earth can we rely on sweeping statements such ad Dick's and Ake's
Once you start t indulge in such flights of fancy, you ivevitably end up claiming all homosexuals are, priests are... potential rapists, paedophiles.... whatever (all these suggestions have been made at one time or another - dangerous ground)
