Subject: RE: BS: Clerical child abuse Part 94....
I never buy these it's all about power and never about sex arguments. It just does not fly with me.At some point it is about sex, sex that we don't understand, urges that we do not have but it is a sexual condition.

I think the church does not want heterosexuals, it wants nonsexuals and that is what the whole religion has tried to do certainly in my lifetime, neuter us all, through segregation of the sexes, through shame, through linking sex with unending poverty-stricken reproduction, through all sorts of other methods. It works sometimes, and sometimes it fails horribly.   

Read Andrew Sullivan..he is very rational I think. Sinead O'Connor, who has been ordained a priest by a legally qualified bishop, and who am I to say if it took or didn't take, has also been writing some good pieces. mg
