I didn't say that I had NO problem with a homosexual parish priest, just LESS problem with one who may be homosexual but is also celibate (as they all should be).

On the other hand, I think pedophiles, whether they are directed toward boys or girls, should be banned from being priests.

Still I support what the Pope is doing. I think priests should be exemplary role models of the highest ideals of the church.

The homosexual priests were for the most part ephebophiles - attracted to post-pubescent boys - which is endemic in the homosexual culture (see my post 99. Correction to post: the book contains at least 4 chapters on pederasty). So giving a homosexual parish priest access to boys is akin to your analogy of an alcoholic working as a bartender

I'm not quite sure why we are having this disagreement if you support what the Pope is doing. But I'm glad you do.
