Hardworking & faithful.Gerard Thomas describes well the Catch-22 that many priests will face when Rome releases its statement on gay clergy. I suspect that when the time comes Adv. 1. when the time comes - at the appropriate time; "we'll get to this question in due course" in due course, in due season, in due time, in good time the "celibate cel·i·bate n. 1. One who abstains from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows. 2. One who is unmarried. adj. 1. , hardworking, healthy, loving, and faithful" gay clergy will either leave the priesthood, speak openly and let the chips fall where they may, or remain in their closet. I hope that the bishops are ready for the fallout fallout, minute particles of radioactive material produced by nuclear explosions (see atomic bomb; hydrogen bomb; Chernobyl) or by discharge from nuclear-power or atomic installations and scattered throughout the earth's atmosphere by winds and convection currents. .
