on priests 'coming out'

the lost art of subtlety

We’re offering a discount on annual subs. We also have a few copies of vol. ii left if you still haven’t gotten one.

So in light of the frocciagine fiasco, I just wanted to offer some more thoughts on the phenomenon of gay priests. It seems to be a trend now for priests with predominantly homoerotic tendencies to publicly announce this—more often than not on the internet. I have many reservations about this trend—not so much moral or theological (which I do indeed have), but for “aesthetic” ones.

Ultimately, there’s something undeniably cringe about a priest coming out of the closet.
