As a former (nonabusing) priest educated at the Pontifical College Josephinum (1953-1963), as a schoolmate for six years with Bernard Cardinal Law of Boston who engineered the shocking US molestation cover-up, and as the analytical gay author of many queer books including "What They Did to the Kid: Confessions of an Altar Boy," I can attest as an eyewitness from inside the Catholic Church that homophobia and child abuse in the Church will continue forever until the Church actually moves forward its medieval stand on 21st-century human sexuality, because---and this is my theorem---how an institution treats its women, children, and homosexuals tells everything about that institution's evolution, intent, responsibility, and morality. A pope who apologizes for child sex abuse on the same visit that he denounces gay marriage, married clergy, and female priests is not a sincere pope, and should not be treated as a serious person on the world stage of human morality. Like Michael Winters, I too, want a kind priest with me at the end.
