I thin the question is actually: Can the Church afford NOT to loose the homosexual priests. God always has a plan. It works better if we follow His Word. Will a church truly prosper is 30-50% of it's leadership actively shun God's Word?
ISAIAH 55:
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
9 As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways above your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts.
