A Disordered Objective
by Gaile Pohlhaus

The Roman Catholic Church calls homosexual persons objectively disordered. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that all persons bear “the stain of original sin.” Thus homosexual persons are no different from all other persons. We are all objectively disordered. Voice of the Faithful believes that all men should be considered for ordination if they recognize a call to such a vocation. Pedophiles come in all sizes and shapes and sexual orientations. To claim that barring homosexuals from the priesthood would get to the root of the present crisis in the Church is to disparage all the young women who have suffered at the hands of abusive priests. Neither will this solve the basic problem of covering up sins and crimes which cry to heaven for redress.
