Chastity is disproven time and time again when some in the Priesthood defend their identity as homosexuals. They are remaining in and of the sin itself, which defies their vows yet again.

If they are not engaging in homosexual acts, they are not guilty of sin, nor remaining in sin.

To be homosexual may be disordered, but it is not sinful.

To be homosexual may be disordered, but it is not sinful.

I believe it is sinful to reject the gender that God has assigned to you, and the purpose God has assigned to that gender. Persons with homosexual attraction disorder may not be able to live out God's purpose without therapy and prayer; if they were seriously abused in childhood, they may not ever be a good candidate for marriage, and should remain celebate. But to ask society and the church to rewrite the rules so that they can continue to sin is wrong.

[Antoninus]

To be homosexual may be disordered, but it is not sinful.

To preach that homosexual behavior is normal, good, or acceptable is a mortal sin of the mill-stone around the neck variety. How many homo-priests do you think preach the Church's true teaching on homosexuality and the whole host of sexual and moral issues? Based on my experience, I'd say none of them do, even the ones who are supposed to be "celibate."

Hmm, to be a sinner is not sinful. Interesting polemic you've got there. These are the types of logical acrobatics Christ referenced when He talked about straining at the gnat but swallowing the camel.
