I think Ms. Scalia needs to read 1 Timothy and Titus to brush up on what the Apostle Paul says about the requirements for Priests/Pastors. The words “Beyond reproach” should jump out at her.
Correction: the Church is not wrong, God is! (Thank you Elizabeth Scalia through your omnipotence for correcting Almighty God’s “error”).
Lev. 18:22, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
Lev. 20:13, “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them”
1 Cor. 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Rom. 1:26-28, “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.”
Could it be possibly God knows something about this lifestyle that we don’t?
She is not proposing that men who lie with men (to use the Biblical term) are fit candidates for the priesthood. By their "i>behavior --- acting on their sexuality via sinful sexual acts --- unchaste men would be proving themselves unfaithful, in violation of celibacy, and unfit to be priests.
You, I, and Scalia would all agree on that.
