Take a deep breath and think it over. Is an alcoholic still one when he's sober?
Sure. But he's not a PRACTICING alcoholic, which makes all the difference in his behavior. Even good people become mired in the swamps of alcoholism, do things they regret, hurt people, etc etc...but if they sincerely and permanently stop drinking, all of their better qualities can surface and they can become exemplary, worthy, and compassionate citizens. And excellent employees. And excellent priests, for that matter. An alcoholic never ceases to be an alcoholic, even if he has not touched a drop for decades.
We have a president who's an alcoholic, come to think of it. Though he has not had a drink for decades, he's still an alcoholic. Remember how we defended him (most of us did) from the liberals who tried to smear him because of past indiscretions?
The point is, people can overcome their destructive and sinful compulsions. I don't see how a non-practicing homosexual is any more dangerous than a priest who really really is attracted to women but not acting on it. If we only had priests who had no passions whatsoever, they might be stiff, cold, nasty men with no love or compassion for people, no understanding of sin, and no forgiveness in their hearts.
Having said all that, I go back to my original post on this thread where I declared that every time I've been interested in returning to the Church, seeing obviously gay priests flitting around the altar has sent me directly out the door. So it's a quandry for me, really it is. I hope the Pope cleans up the seminaries. Because in fact, the priesthood has become a refuge for gay guys who value their gayness more than their vocation. I'll pick up a broom and help Benedict sweep them out the door. But sadly.
