I was assuming that it would already be uncommon for any priests who had unacted upon homosexual urges to have gay pin ups on their walls, but who knows!
Yes, of course. The Times words the article to bash the church. The church is simply saying that the actual act of homosexuality is not where they will stop with the ban. Homosexual activity that does not involve actually having sex is also banned (read - participating in homosexual chat rooms, teaching that God's Word is wrong in regard to homosexuality, etc.)
