Women, men and church

The quote below is from Cardinal Raymond Burke.

"It requires a certain manly discipline to serve as an altar boy in service at the side of [a] priest, and most priests have their first deep experiences of the liturgy as altar boys," said the former archbishop of St. Louis. He added that "the sanctuary has become full of women" and that has discouraged men from taking part in church life."

It is generally accepted that gay men have good, friendly and healthy relations with women.

It seems that closet gay priests have great difficulty interacting with women.
