If you are saying the Church should not ordain celibate homosexuals, I entirely disagree. The trouble is that, in our sex-obsessed age, very few homosexuals remain celibate any longer.

Its a risk to children the boy scouts don't knowingly let homosexuals be troop leaders and they don't have this problem I say admit married homosexuals if I remember the Celibacy rule was enacted in the Middle Ages because they didn't want Bishops to have sons who would claim Feudal Birthrights to church lands. No way should homosexuals celibate or otherwise be given jobs near young boys.

If the problem is only homosexuality, replacing altar boys with girls might help.

Besides the fact that the Bible calls it a sin and and abomination. Many Christians fail to remember that Christ talked long and often about how you think is often a sin before the act is ever committed.

It makes me shudder how these practicing Priests could resolve the hypocrisy of their actions against their professed faith.

Couldn't part of the problem be that there are too many bad priests with homosexual desires. So that instead of receiving support from fellow priests, a weak struggling priest receives temptation? And is turned into a bad priest himself? If some of these stories about certain seminaries are true, then it's not a surprise that so many fall into temptation.
