Elagabalus, while I share your assessment that B16 may well be homosexual (indeed, I defer to your superior judgement on this topic!), and while I share your observation that having Gorgeous George in his entourage is "conveenient," I am inclined to the assumption he is a non-active, closeted gay -- in your words "denying his own nature." 

Would it not make more sense that B16's choice of language like "intrinsically evil" arose from a self-denying rather than active experience? That is not rhetorical -- I really am asking. We're reading tea leaves here, obviously, but given how B16 "set the tone so low" for contemporary discussions of homosexuality in Catholic circles, I really think pondering where he might be coming from is important.

I fear this comment could get voted uncivil. I can only beg evaluators to note that raising delicate matters for serious reflection is not uncivil -- its just delicate, not unkind.
