Sex, it seems will bring down the Roman Catholic Church.

I have been waiting for this for some years, and now the time appears to have come -- or at least is beginning to come into focus.

The shadow of monastic chastity and priestly celibacy is, of course, sex itself. Now it comes tumbling out of the sacerdotal closet, spilling out like consecrated wine all over the vestments.

Goodbye, Pope Benedict. Goodbye Pope JP2. Goodbye to all that...and good riddance.
