Sure, his recent Comedy Central special called the Pope a Nazi. But is his calling priests and nuns homosexuals really going that far? Most convents stopped being about Jesus about the time that they stopped wearing habits, and started spending all their time at anti-nuclear weapons rallys. Even I refer to the Leadership Conference of Women Religious as the Lesbian Crack-addict Women Religious. Last week, another blog I would hat-tip if I could remember which one it was, profiled a Dominican nun who escorts women into an abortion clinic. Let me repeat this for effect. A woman whose health care and living expenses are paid for by the Catholic Church spends her time making sure pro-lifers cannot annoy women about to kill their babies. So is Mr. Leary too far off when he says nuns are lesbians?
As far as calling priests sodomists, Mr. Leary isn't doing anything the rest of the liberal media hasn't done. Or anything gay rights activists haven't done. Maybe one shouldn't drop the soap when showering with Mr. Leary. The Jesuit rag America is always agitating for the acceptance of sexually active gay men as Catholic priests, so which came first, the chicken or the egg? Sure Denis Leary is an irreverent slimeball, and an unfunny paddy, but what else is new?
