Dear Editor: I commend the Vicariate of Rome for wanting gay priests out of the closet and out of the Catholic Church.
Homosexuality is abnormal, immoral and anti-life. It is not innate as some believe. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration. Dr. Francis Collins, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work sequencing the human genetic code has proven that homosexuality is not genetically “hardwired.” The Bible condemns homosexuality outright.
Scientific studies have also proven that homosexuality is linked to pedophilia. For example, a 1992 study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy found that homosexual men are three times more likely than straight men to engage in paedophilia. A 1988 study of 229 convicted child molesters published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour found that 86% of paedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bisexual. Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a U.S. psychiatrist with vast experience in treating priests with pedophilia, recently stated: “Every priest whom I treated who was involved with children sexually had previously been involved in adult homosexual relationships.”
Dr. Michelle Cretella, a board member of the American College of Pediatricians also concluded from several studies that homosexually behaving teens and young adults suffer increased rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions and suicidal thoughts. In addition, she found that boys who adopt a homosexual lifestyle because of the influence of their same-sex parents face a 30% chance of being dead or HIV-positive by the age of 30.
There are so many things wrong with this article that I will actually take the time to make the corrections. This kokowski person is obviously an ill-informed bigot. He says:
“Homosexuality is abnormal, immoral and anti-life. It is not innate as some believe. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration.”
The use of his profane adjectives I am not even going to waste time on it. Abnormal, immoral and anti-life. Who quantifies what is immoral or abnormal. In the earlier part of the century it was considered immoral for women to show their ankles. That was grossly unacceptable. Today it is acceptable to walk around in booty shorts. Who is right? That generation or ours. The Muslims look at the western world and considers the fact that women are allowed to have traditional jobs and don’t cover their heads as immoral and abnormal. We in the western world do not. Who is right? Who is wrong? Acts in themselves are not immoral or abnormal. It is all based on societal interpretations at different periods in time.
He says:

You really need to fact check this guy. I have linked below recent stats from the New scientist on public studies just finished in 2010 that found “that Teenagers raised by lesbian mothers show no developmental differences compared to those brought up by heterosexual parents, according to the first large national study in the US.” it goes on to state that ” The researchers found no differences between the two groups in terms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem and school grades. Exactly the same proportion of both groups also reported having had sex (34%).” In-fact it says that ‘ The children of lesbian parents outscore their peers on academic and social tests, according to results from the longest-running study of same-sex families.”

Based on the HIV data, HiV contractions among homosexuals have been dropping where as heterosexuals have been increasing. Use of condoms has been a big part of the gay community because of safe sex campaigns that were geared towards them for most of the initial years of the hiv crisis. Heterosexuals are just picking up that now. A simple test can be done. Search gay porn and straight porn on the internet. Pick the first 5 videos and see how many are using condoms in each one. You will be amazed to find if any of the straight porn actors use a condom. Besides the last HIV statistics released showed that same trend. Another fact checker for Mr. Kokoloski.
Any person who is logical can see that gay/lesbian parents don’t influence the gender identity of their children. If that were the case all gay/lesbians parents are straight so why are so many still gay/lesbian? He goes on to speak of pedophile statistics. he really should go back and look at the research because just like most cross-dressers are straight ( a fact that seems as strange as it sounds ) , Most pedophiles are not homosexual. Pedophilia is a psychological disorder . He should check the US statistics on the rates of pedophilia and he should start with knowing what pedophilia is. He quotes Richard P. Fitzgibbons. Dr. Fitzgibbons is the director of the institute for MARTITAL HEALING and a counselor for the catholic church. Their mission is called “ strengthening catholic marriages” . What they do is pass off the fact that they do a bad job in their church by blaming priest pedophilia to breakdown of marriages on homosexuals.

Instead of admitting that their system allows their priests to do bad things they passing on the blame to homosexuals. That church needs to admit their system is bad. Little boys are not the only ones getting molested. A lot of little girls get molested by priests. Infact, most molesters are not concerned with the sex of the child. They just concerned with the fact that it is a child. that is what brings them sexual gratification.
For the ones who keep their religion close to their heart they must realize that IN this day and age we should learn to be tolerant. Wasn’t that the message of Jesus. God will judge, our job is to forgive and be tolerant. Failure to do that would be contrary to Jesus’ teachings. We forgot Jesus didn’t hang with people who thought they knew or could quote the word of god from memory . He hung out with the prostitutes and thieves. He did not condemn them he loved them because he created them. How dare you judge what god has created to be abnormal and anti-life?
Thanks you dominicaonline for printing this guy so people can become more aware of his lies and inconsistencies.
@LeVert: Yea you must be @ a very healthy hate level. SMFH When is hate ever healthy? Idiot.
It would be interesting to know what Paul Kokoski calls himself – What is his agenda? After reading this unbalanced article I could only conclude that this kind of writing could only come from someone with an unhealthy level of hate. It would be interesting if Mr Kokoski could write an article about Tolerance, which would come from his heart and mind and not from other people’s ‘selected’ quotes.
so you don’t have any woman,and expectin me to come to you’r church to bless my boosumm.not a peacko.
and what happens in the dark must come to the light. Stay away from those dark men and their religulousness…..they claim they have given their lives to “GOD” and have no need for sexual desire or a woman. Ever wonder why “GOD” gave you a penis in the first place? Maybe to reproduce? uhhhhh how could anyone not see this coming? I can’t wait to hear what those nuns are up to!
THESE GUYS WHERE DRESSES ON THE ALTER. A MAN WOULD NEVER DRES LIKE THAT…
Its obvious that these priest, after living for years without a wife, when they are on heat , they must pass something on their other fellow priest! That trend created a path way to go after other boys.
The Roman Caholic church needs to take the blame for their priest. Go back to the drawing board , and let those bastards have their wives. This will alleviate the syntoms some how in those priest!
@observant:
I do not think I’m out of line in my conclusion about Mr Kokoski’s article. First off, I do not know if you have any knowledge about the background of Paul Kokoski and what he does. Let me tell you, studies and articles does not necessarily seek or arrive at what is the truth and is not a always a good tool at finding proof or the truth, that is a lazy man’s way in “perceiving” truth. If I were to give and show studies counteracting Paul Kokoski which many have done before me, who would you believe is telling the truth? Me or Him. What it says is that we can look and find what ever studies or articles we want at our own little convenience to give credibility as to what we want to support and what we believe as the truth, now the question that should be asked is where the study came from, who wrote it, how was it done to arrive at the given conclusion to be accepted as truth, and is it the truth. So why are you so quick to allude or call me ignorant.
Let me remind you the search for truth is not in articles or studies It is more than that. There are two types of truth that we can ponder. First there are true facts. These are the basic elements of information about events or ideas and secondly there are true principles. Let us be honest with our selves when seeking to tell the truth and not be quick to judge a class of people demonizing them because of religious beliefs,
@ Gary, i think you’re a bit out of line to come to such conclusions about Mr. Kokoski’s article, in the 21st century if you disagree with someone’s views or dispute the information they have provided, then it is your responsibility to provide a counter-argument and bring along proof (studies, articles etc) backing your claim, like Mr. Kokoski did. If you can’t do that, then unfortunately you’re guilty of the very thing you’re accusing Mr. Kokoski of, trying to spread ignorance.
Mr Kokoski, what is it you’re trying to accomplish? What are your motives? What do you gain by writing such lies and propaganda having it pass as truth and scientific. it is bewildering as to what kind of mind would write stuff like this on a mass scale week in week out.
Well I guess after reading some of the comments, it shows what you are trying to achieve and stir up, hated, intolerance, bigotry and ignorance.
That is why I will never say anything bad on a priest I see with two women fighting for him.
AA!!. When Priest drinking wine everyday in their religious life that must put extra shaleah under that long gong.
Yes fada put the holy dick on her!!! That will make for a better confession next time. Bless me fada for I have put it on Sister Cathy…
Well that gay buisness is part of the catholic priest hood thats why they have no wife two men leaving together in a big house dont they have fealings.they are a bunch of hyprocrits they need to repent and trust in Jesus and stop that abominable nastyness.
