Catholic World News has reported that Pope Benedict XVI has approved a policy to ban individuals with gay tendencies from the priesthood. This is apparently in response to the recent molestation scandals hitting the Church. Interesting that this move is almost concurrent with the acceptance of gay marriages in various states throughout the the United States such as California. It also is moving in parallel with moves to remove things of God from the Public Square. Recently a school principal informed an elementary school student to cease bringing his Bible to school and to stop engaging in religious discussions with other students during recess.

Does it not appear that the secular and non-secular worlds are headed for a head on collision that is imminent?
