You are correct on all points-BUT-

If there was never another child/teen accosted by a homosexual priest, would that end it? Would homosexual priests be ok?
Would homosexual priests having sex with other adult men, and other priests be ok?
Victimizing minors is the ultimate sickness- no argument- but I don't want Catholic priests fornicating with lay men or each other.
The VOW of celibacy was taken and should be lived up to. It means NO SEX. With anyone- or anything. Period. Not just 'no sex with minors'- no sex!
Whether or not the requirement of celibacy is right, or should stand, is up for argument here.
THAT it is a vow that was willingly taken is not. And any priest that took it, KNOWING he never had any intention of fulfilling it, is not a valid priest IMO.
As long as celibacy( no sex with anyone) is a requirement, you obey it or you get out.
If it changes- homosexuals as priests would still be an abomination.
