Doctorate in a thesis on gay sprituality?

You can become a PhD for this shit?

C'mon, is this such a stretch of probability? A bunch of guys wandering Judea preaching love for your fellow MAN?

Mmmmm, Godly man-love......

If it turns out that Jesus was in fact gay, does that excuse the Catholic priest?

No, i haven't read it yet, but have seen a few news articles describing it. Here's a few quotes from one of them:
http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,6510415%255E421,00.html wrote:Dr McCleary also believes that gay people find it easier to be Christian. "You don't have to be gay to be Christian, but it would be easier," he said....

...He said Jesus's astrological chart, clues in the scriptures to which the churches had been blind and accurate biblical translations had all played a part in his conclusions. "The starting point is the matter of John, who always referred to himself as Jesus's beloved disciple," Dr McCleary said
Now let's look at John...
John 13 wrote:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved
The word "Loved" here is translated from the Greek word, "Agapao" which means to love in a social or moral sense. Every time John is mentioned in this book, it is always in reference to "Agapao" so if someone wants to draw conclusions from that, they obviously haven't looked up to check which of five Greek love words were used.

If his starting point of using John as the reaonsing is wrong, i don't think i have to check much more to see that his reasonings on the whole issue are wrong.

look at the form of love used in Greek. It's the difference between giving your female friend a hug, and taking her to bed.

Wow hethrir, you have about as much a sense of humor as a dead horse...not that a dead horse isnt funny, but it certainly doesnt laugh at obvious jokes.
