They can always recruit new priests in gay bars.
Min, I really take issue with what you posted here. Catholic priests aren't homosexuals. They're pedophiles. They don't have sex with other men, they have sex with children. There is a difference.
The Catholic church has had a priest shortage for years, at least 25 years or so, probably longer. They could probably get more people interested if they'd just allow women to be priests, and allow priests to get married. And get rid of the funny robes. But the priest shortage is in my opinion why the church instead of removing the pedophile priests from duty passed them around from church to church and covered up the problem. Why get rid of a good priest just because he wanted to diddle a few kids? Priests don't grow on trees, you know.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
