text: Not to worry, most gay people have long since fled the Roman Catholic Church, being fully aware of the way nearly all R.C. bishops, including the Bishop of Springfield, feel about them. Like most sane people, they know that only an insane person would want to sup with people who hate them, believe them to be second-class citizens worthy only of contempt, and who otherwise wish them to go away. So go away they have, taking the next generation of LGTB people with them. And the next, and the next. Soon the bishops will only be speaking in theoretical terms. Wait, come to think of it, they already are. One day the church will need gay people to come back to church so the church can "prove" that it's not homophobic and preserve what's left of its tattered reputation. But that ship has long since sailed, never to return to that particular shore. Saving the church's reputation will have to fall to some other group of people.
