There have always been ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs in the seminaries. But there has been a massive explosion in the numbers since the time of Vatican II because:
-There was a time when rigorous discipline and orthodoxy were enforced in the seminaries, which tended to discourage those who were not serious about a priestly vocation. In the 16th century ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ priests were executed. A pedophile priest was executed in Vatican City in the early 20th century.
-The Catholic faith was healthy and vigorous before Vatican II, and there were scores of faithful willing to devote themselves to the service of God. After Vatican II the faith collapsed and the Church stopped teaching what it had always taught. Why then would any faithful, heterosɛҳuąƖ Catholic man be willing to lead the life of sacrifice the priesthood demands? Instead men sought to join for "other" reasons. Those men were often ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs who were attracted to the status of the priesthood, the ability that status would grant to promote social revolution, and other "perks".
-Candidates for the priesthood were once selected on the basis of their conservative qualities. Their discipline, their obedience to Catholic teachings, their piety etc. After Vatican II, the new, liberal direction of the Church demanded the creation of a new, more liberal priesthood who would bring the Church in line with the values of the modern world. Men who resembled the old model of the priest were excluded from the seminaries in favor of social revolutionaries.
-The general effect of the sɛҳuąƖ revolution had a profound impact upon Catholics everywhere, and that includes clergymen
We can discern when ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity became a significant problem in Church by looking at the teachings. Prior to Vatican II, the pastors of the Church were almost unanimous in their condemnation of sɛҳuąƖ immorality, and the Church was a bastion of traditional moral and social thought. Post Vatican-II, a huge number of the priests are openly pro-Homo liberals.
By the way, DonT, the Orthodox have their own massive issues with sɛҳuąƖ deviants.
