You trade one set of problems for another set of problems. One saying in the military goes, “If Uncle Sam would have wanted you to marry, you’d have been issued a wife in your seabag!”

I think the same is true with clergy. I think it is best that they don’t marry, because the job is 24/7.

Why gays would want to be Roman Catholic? Beyond me, really.

Also, being married and monogamous is no guarantee. Divorces are inevitable, and uglier in the Roman Catholic church than in other ‘protestant’ denominations.

You also have to differentiate between sexual excesses, and sexually related crimes, such as pedophilia, which is more about power and control.

I’ll tell you what fascinates me - that liberals can tar and feather the RC Church with homosexual incident after homosexual incident, and it doesn’t impact in any way their efforts to mainstream homosexuality.

Every single pedophile priest was first a homosexual, and then a pedophile.

WRONG. Here's a recent example:

Priest gets nearly 7 years in prison on child porn charges

Grady pleaded guilty to the charge in March. Prosecutors say an undercover officer arrested Grady in July of last year, after Grady set up a meeting with what he thought was a 16-year-old girl willing to have sex with him. A later search of the priest's personal laptop found more than 100 sexually-explicit images of girls between the ages of seven and seventeen.

You could say it was all about the pretty pictures of the "ripped" Jesus and Saints, but, if that were the case, the Eastern Orthodox would be gayer than the audience at a Liza Minelli concert.
