Milwaukee Archbishop admits homosexuality

Catholic Archbishop Rembert Weakland, who retired from his post in Milwaukee, Wis., in 2002 over a sex and financial scandal involving a man, says in a new memoir that he's gay. Weakland had planned initially to have his memoirs published posthumously, but reconsidered and decided that now is the right time for the great coming out. By some estimates, nearly 50% of the Roman Catholic priesthood could be gay. Not surprising that most heterosexual men would not be attracted to a profession that mandates celibacy, but why would gay men be so attracted to the priesthood? The Vatican still affirms celibacy for priests and condemns homosexuality. See Chick's "Alberto" part one.
