Sure the Church has sinners in it, but that doesn't mean that those sins should be openly flaunted in the Church. I don't recall reports of Kennedy dragging Marilyn Monroe to Mass with him or Clinton taking Monica to the church in D.C.
I know you don't think St. Paul is God as you stated in a previous post, but he was chosen by God to be His spokesperson. He said that the effeminate and liers with mankind wouldn't possess the kingdom on God. He then tells the church at Corinth that some of them WERE, but that they had now been washed, sanctified and justified in the name of Jesus Christ. Homosexuals aren't suppose to continue in that behavior.
Well Clinton? I think he as much as flaunted it. And what about Teddy Kennedy? If everyone *knows* he is certainly not too worried about it , is he. But regardless, you get the point. Lots of people flaunt their sins. Jeez think of MArdi Gras - think of Las Vegas.

No I don't see Paul as God's spokesperson. I see him, though, as someone that others can learn from as they understand his struggles and realize that they can learn from them. He said some beautiful things. I especially like those that have to do with the mind and having a loving and grateful state of mind.
