[quote:Anonymous Coward 33385314:MV8yMTAzNTc4XzM1ODQ5ODgwX0U1MjAxNDZE] The Catholic Church has always been a haven for homosexuals. Back in the old days you were expected to marry and men and women became nuns and priests to escape condemnation. Back in the 18th and 19th century it's estimate that 90% of priests and nuns were gay.. It was the only place they could go and be accepted. Commonly nuns became lovers for their entire lives and no one spilled the beans. [/quote]

Of the approximately 625 St. John's graduates to be ordained by the Los Angeles Archdiocese between 1950 and 2005, 65 had been accused by 2005 of molesting the underaged, reflecting a rate higher than what studies have found for U.S. priests in general. A seminary spokesman noted California's then-extended statute of limitations on molestation lawsuits, and suggested that a wave of publicity on molestation by priests had made their graduates targets of such accusations.[10] Four days after the Los Angeles Times reported this information, the paper ran a letter to the editor from St. John's rector Helmut A. Hefner. He stated that reforms had been implemented in the seminary, and that from 1985 to 2005, of the 155 priests ordained at St. John's Seminary for the archdiocese, 2 had been accused of sexual misconduct.[11]
Further, the lede to a 2002 Newsweek article entitled "Gays in the Seminary" opened by interviewing a recent alumnus: St. John's
"may be one of the country's gayest facilities for higher education. Depending on whom you ask, gay and bisexual men make up anywhere from 30 percent to 70 percent of the student body at the college and graduate levels.
