So you deny or want to ignore the fact that many thousands of homosexual paedophile priests infect the Catholic Church and have done so for many, many years? Or am I making it all up?

Pretty sure you're making it up.

Catholic priests no guiltier of sex abuse than other clergy

The Other Shoe: Child Molesting by Non-Catholic Clergy
According to a Christian Science Monitor report in 2002: "Despite headlines focusing on the priest pedophile problem in the Roman Catholic Church, most American churches being hit with child sexual-abuse allegations are Protestant, and most of the alleged abusers are not clergy or staff, but church volunteers."

Has Media Ignored Sex Abuse in School?
"[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?" [ Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft] said. "The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

Catholic Sex Abuse Facts
While even one case of abuse is too many, approximately only 4% of all active priests between 1950 and 2002 were even accused of abuse – a rate far lower than that of other males in the general population.

So that’s why there’s been a world-wide uproar about this for going on four decades? That’s why the RCC has lost billions in church offerings and many, many members, which even they acknowledge? You can bury your head in the sand or site other denominations’ problems, but that doesn’t change the truth or the image that is in the minds of most people around the world. You can say that I’m anti-Catholic or some other nonsense, but that doesn’t change the problem that the Catholic Church has with paedophiles. Not one bit.

Apparently you didn’t read thesecond sentence in my post. IN NO WAY am I condoning the Homosexual lifestyle and I hope Christian Pastors hold onto to God’s Word. I would remind you that Jesus himself came to Earth to seek and to save those who are lost.

I’d be curious to see how these pastors would respond if they’re told they have to perform gay marriages.

Would they be as Judge Gilbert Breedlove, who is also an ordained minister? Judge Breedlove resigned his post when it became mandated in North Carolina to perform same sex marriages? One has to wonder...
