Catholic Boys: Altar Boy Bastian Vol. 1: Devotionals, starring Bastian Karim And Ruslan Angelo. I’m not sure I can call myself a good Catholic; or maybe I’m just not a good priest. I do believe in God, the Salvation of Christ, the miracle of Holy Communion. That is not what led me to the priesthood, though. I was a young gay boy trapped in a small town, in a very devout Catholic stepfamily, who discovered that he lusted after other men. I was too embarrassed to admit that, even in confession. I told myself there was nothing to confess if I didn’t act.
