Isn’t it rank hypocrisy on the part of the Catholic Church, which seems to be dominated by homosexually active men, to continue to condemn homosexual practice?

Someone once said, “Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.” The failure to live up to the teachings does not prove anything one way or the other about the value of those teachings.

What a weasel non-answer.

The question wasn't about the value of the teachings.

The question was about the behavior in contradiction to the teachings.

And yes, it IS rank hypocrisy.

Yes, those men are hypocrites that engaged in homosexual acts or covered for those that abused others. No, the Catholic Church (which is what was asked about) is not hypocritical for condemning such things.
