“Their views would be more in line with the majority”

The masses DO NOT write doctrine. There will never be openly homosexual priests allowed into the Catholic clergy. The number one reason given for Angelicans (Episcopalian in the USA) for converting to the Catholic faith is due to theological liberalism with the acceptance of homosexuality, female clergy, as well as the denial of many scriptural beliefs. The same thing is happening in the Lutheran faith.

In 2009, Pope Benedict issued an order allowing Anglican priests who disagreed with the teachings of the Church of England to convert to Catholicism. One-hundred-twenty former Anglicans have been ordained Catholic priests, with many more on the way.

Are you still trying to defend liberal Rome based upon its paper conservatism? As said, Scripturally what you believe is manifest by what you do, and thus foster, and while you may dismiss the majority of Catholics as liberals, Rome treats them as members in life and in death.

If you were in the NT church you would be able to cast the proabortion, prohomosexual members out, rather than giving even notorious public examples of such an apostolic blessing.

Rome even has removed from canon law Code the provision that allowed for making a formal act of defection from the Catholic Church, and of any juridical effects deriving from it (partly because of the financial effect).
