There is a serious problem in the RCC with gay priests suffering from sex addiction.
John Paul Lyttle, Dickie Purse, Kitty Kirby and quite a number of secular and religious order priests seem to suffer from it.
For someone to be an addict there is very often an underlying psychological issue at play.
Sex addicts, including priest sex addicts eventually find that their addiction is out of control and begin to take serious risks to satisfy the addiction.
An example of this would be a priest, a public and well known figure in the community, going on the Internet seeking sex and showing both their face and genitalia – exposing themselves to the risk of being found out and the consequences it will have for their lives and work.
Similarly in the case of a priest- or an abbot – going to a gay sauna where they may be recognised by parishioners, fellow priests or seminarians.
The best definition of addiction I’ve come across is: “Someone whose addiction interfers with any part of daily life” – health, job, relationship finances etc.
When a priest is sexually active he is:
1. Contradicting RCC teaching and discipline.
2. Living a double life.
3. Putting himself in danger of exposure and causing scandal to his parishioners and the public.
4. Contradicting his position as a public representative of RCC teaching.
5. Being the face of imposing moral obligations on others that he privately is flouting.
Of course if anyone including a priest has an addiction ir certainly reduces moral culpability.
But addicts have the moral obligation to see k and accept.
The below questionnaire from The Laurel Centre allows people to judge if they have sex addiction.
REMEMBER these questions are for the ordinary Joe and Mary Soap.
How much more is expected of a publicly vowed cleric or religious?
1. Have you been struggling with your problem for more than 2 years?
Yes No
2. Do you regularly view pornography for more than 11 hours a week?
Yes No
3. Have you noticed that you need more and more stimuli or risk in order to achieve the same level of arousal and excitement?
Yes No
4. Do you feel as if your sexual behaviour is out of your control?
Yes No
5. Do you currently, or have you in the past, struggled with any other addictions, compulsive behaviours or eating disorders? Such as drug, alcohol addiction, compulsive gambling, gaming, work or exercise, collecting?
Yes No
6. Has anyone in your family currently, or in the past, struggled with any addictions, compulsive behaviours or eating disorders such as those listed above?
Yes No
7. Do you find yourself pre-occupied with either planning for, fantasising about, or recovering from your sexual behaviours?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
8. Does your sexual behaviour have a negative impact on your relationship or your ability to start a relationship?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
9. Do your behaviours have a negative impact on your work or studies, finances, health, or relationships with friends or extended family members?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
10 Do you engage in your behaviours in spite of potential risk of physical or emotional harm to yourself or others?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
11. Does your sexual behaviour contradict your personal values and potentially limit your goals in life?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
12. Do you find yourself struggling to concentrate on other areas of your life because of thoughts and feelings about your sexual behaviour?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
13. Have you tried to limit your sexual behaviour or stop it all together, but failed?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
14. Are you more tempted to engage in sexual behaviour when you’re experiencing difficult feelings such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression or sadness?
No Occasionally Often Most of the Time
With the exception of number 6 I would imagine that someone like JPL might answer YES to all?

Pat, not sure if you read that awful rag, The Tablet, but from behind the paywall here are bits of Mary Kenny’s review of Moanin’ Mary McAleese’s new book:
Ireland’s former president has always been vigorous in challenging the Vatican.
Mary McAleese was the second woman to become president of Ireland, following Mary Robinson. Both were admirable holders of the office; both brought judgement, grace and stature to the presidency. Both were lawyers, and both, perhaps, represented the last generation of Irish women who were commonly named Mary. As a qualified canon lawyer, she is also known for her audacious feminist challenges to the Vatican hierarchy, including Pope Francis (whom she calls “all talk and no action”).
McAleese was born in 1951, an eldest child. Her mother had 11 pregnancies: nine children survived. After the last, a priest criticised a medically necessary hysterectomy, which may justifiably have contributed to McAleese’s subsequent sensibilities about misogynistic clerics.
When she emerged as a presidential candidate in 1997, she was described as a potential “tribal bomb”. It was predicted she’d be an uber-Catholic and a Sinn Féin republican fellow traveller, which was not at all how things turned out.
Successful in her first term, she was returned, unopposed, for a second period. After that, she embarked on canon law at Rome’s Pontifical Gregorian University. She was already critical of the Catholic Church for a number of reasons: child abuse, female priests, homosexual rights. Her canonical studies enhanced her radicalism, and even her anger.
The narrative covers an arc of our times, with a diligent eye to the record: events and encounters with numerous political and church people are described. She is caustic about those she considers bigoted, misogynistic, or who have failed in addressing child abuse. Mary Glendon, Fr Tom Williams, Cardinal Law, Dublin’s Cardinal Connell and Fr Denis Faul, are not spared her ire. She has her heroes too: Mo Mowlam, Cherie Blair, John Hume, Francis Campbell, the Dalai Lama, and Fr Alec Reid, to whom the book is dedicated (and she has heroes, too, within her own family). She describes the Vatican as a “rather camp medieval court”, which makes it sound rather glamorous.
She has a pleasing line in self-deprecation, although she can occasionally take herself too seriously. She was furious with John Paul II for making a jest suggesting that Martin must be playing second fiddle to his wife. I heard my own husband banter on this theme with Denis Thatcher and it was thought harmless. But Mary elicited an apology!
There’s a happy photograph of her gay son, Justin, with his husband, and she makes mention of her and Martin’s energetic involvement in the 2016 Irish referendum to legalise same-sex marriage. There could have been a little more political and social context about that. Her influence was also considerable when it came to the 2018 repeal referendum (repealing the Eighth Amendment, which acknowledged the unborn child): she told a feminist interviewer that she supported repeal “with a heart and a half”. This came as a disappointment to pro-life supporters. She may have a more complex explanation of this situation, or she may feel so radically feminist now that she is aligned with the pro-choice movement, but it isn’t explored.

From what I’ve seen, heard and read on Mrs McAleese, I’ve formed an opininon that she is a highly intelligent, informed and socially conscious lady. She appears to rightly challenge matters of concern, particularly in relation to the RCC.
It seems that those who disagree with her views choose to attack her personally rather than engage in direct discussion with her or express their contrary arguments in the public domain. That may well be because they have no viable argument, although some might say it’s more their fury when they realise how well her criticisms show them up.
Calling her an old hag/fool, as is the choice of the above pseudonym, “Mary keep on moaning” could be taken as an example of this common ad hominem phenomenon regularly found as a characteristic of the, ……less able.

I don’t think the vast majority of priests who break their vows of celibacy are addicted. Some at the far end of the spectrum maybe – those who are out day and night cruising lay-bys and woods and saunas and gay bars for casual sex – but the majority who take what they can on occasion or establish convenient sexual relationships are really only doing what they want to do knowing that they can get away with it. They compromise the vows that they have made so that they can make life more palatable. The problem is that this digs deeply in to their integrity, and undermines everything about them. How are we to listen to priests telling us about the gospel of truth and light when they themselves are messing about in the darkness ? For me this is not an issue about sexual morality. I could not care what a priest does with his bits and with whom. What I do worry about more is what he says or professes one moment, and what he does the next. If there is a mismatch then he is undermined and diminished in his credibility and integrity. Why should I listen to him ?

You are right that sexually active priests are not usually addictive. The system forces them into contradiction, but not the one you finger. They do not preach one thing and do another. They are simply silent about sex and especially gay sex, and if they touch on it obliquely in their sermons it is to push in a liberal direction. And as Bishop Pat notes, the promise of celibacy elicited from secular priests a year or two before ordination is not a “vow”. “I could not care what a priest does with his bits and with whom.” Obviously you could, you care very much. This obsession with priests’ penises is a neurosis. It’s a sort of revival of the obsession of priests with the sex lives of the laity up to fifty years ago.

If they are training to be priests and they are in their early-to-mid-wenties, then I can understand them having the energy, fair enough. I can also understand them still ‘finding’ their feet if that makes sense.
However, men who are in their thirties and ordained priests and are at it like rabbits with every Tom, Dick and Harry, is just not on.
They should well and truly have gotten it all out of their systems by thirty, and most certainly if choosing to be a priest, and even a priest or minister in another denomination for that matter.
I think so anyway.
Somebody above mentioned the celibate lifestyle is more of a ‘work’ in progress kind of thing, I agree with this; you are going to meet people you ‘warm’ to, that’s just biology and it’s not a bad or dirty thing: it’s a healthy thing, it means you’re alive.
It’s how you respond to that ‘warm’ fuzzy feeling which matters.
I you are a parish priest and end up having a snog with an adult single parishioner in the kitchen of the parochial hall, then that’s one thing.
However, if you are a parish priest and end up snogging an adult parishioner who is married, or even single but having personal issues or troubles going on in their life at the time, then this is socially and morally wrong and is harmful to individuals: not just reputations.
If we are not the most shining examples of the celibate lifestyle, then let’s not beat ourselves up over it; and don’t beat others up for it: work on things.
Just because a man or a woman has been ordained priest it does not mean that they are unable to still fall in love, or if they are walking down the street and see somebody who catches their eye that they won’t get that feeling in their belly (you know the one I mean 🥰 😂 lol).
Look; at the end of the day… if you are wanting to win the Duracell rabbit of the year award, then hang up your collar and go do it in your own back yard; don’t do it in our Church Community back yard.

Whereas, I think we all know, the actively sexual priests, particularly the gay ones, who are out and about having casual and anonymous sex, or going through a series of gay relationships, are not desperate and not deserving of compassion. They know exactly what they are doing, and they chose to do it, clinically, calculatingly and with focus. They are enjoying themselves, and have no regard for the egregious breaking of the public vows and promises that they made at ordination /profession. I have no pity, compassion or understanding to offer them. The should be brought to account, publicly, and I hope that you will continue to do so where you find such behaviour. Outing them is the only option. Ridiculing them as well. Pointing out their lack of integrity and their dishonesty. So, please keep it up. Bishops are not interested any more.
