Empirical Fact: "Many catholic priests are gay"

Like we didn't know this. The catholic church is for all practical purposes a "gay corporation." From the pope on down, it's leadership is predominately gay and Francis' comments of late can certainly be construed as an admission of this fact - finally the catholics can quit lying.
Now maybe they can also quit blackmailing each other and start turning in the thousands of pedophiles and sadists still on payroll and in your church to the police without fear of losing their job.

US News and World Report:
The notion that many Catholic priests are quietly gay is not new. In the 2000 book "The Changing Face of the Priesthood," Rev. Donald B. Cozzens suggested that the priesthood was increasingly becoming a gay profession. Cozzens estimated that as much as 58 percent of priests were gay, and that percentages were even higher for younger priests. His numbers matched previous estimates by sociologists who put the numbers of gay priests between 10 and 60 percent.
Father Gary Meier, a gay, St. Louis-based Catholic clergymen, says there's a wide range of statistics out there on gay priests, but jokes that in his experience, "30 percent are gay, 30 percent are straight, and 30 percent are in denial."
