What's wrong with a homosexual man becoming a priest?

Once the vow of celibacy is taken they should be no less trustworthy than a heterosexual man.

You and your ilk creep me out.

I'm sure a homosexual is capable of loving God and doing his work just as well as a heterosexual.

It's the vice of choosing to impose power over children we're talking about.

My point simply was that by requiring celibacy the pool shrinks.

Well- THEIR 'ilk' creeps me out, so we're even.
What's the problem with homosexuals in the priesthood?
Look what they've done to it! The public perception of Roman Catholic priests includes perversion and child abuse now.
Isn't that enough of a problem?

And the issue is celibacy. That's the rule they understood upon joining the priesthood, that's the vow they took upon ordination. It's KEPT or you're not a priest- get'em outta there, period.
It's NOT just about the 'power over children', because the
men using that power are homosexual. It's men and little BOYS! The base perversion is the problem in the Church. If it were not we'd see equal numbers of priests abusing little girls. Are we???
Now-imagine the celibacy requirement is dropped.
Straight priests can then marry and have wives and children.
Homosexual priests are now free to have sex with each other.
Pedophilia is evil always, by anyone.
If you equate heterosexual with homosexuality, and the idea of a priest having sex with a woman with the idea of priests having sex with each other, then you creep ME out.
Is hetero sex equal to ANY form of sex? Would beastiality be just as ok for a priest as hetero marriage? Father and his wife = Father and his boytoy, or his German Shepherd?

Heterosexuality is biologically normal.
Homosexuality is intrinsically disordered.
I would rather have 12 priests left on the planet than all of the homosexual priests there are.
If these gay priests had obeyed their vow of celibacy, the words 'pedophilia' and 'priest' would not be associated, now would they?
Are you saying that homosexual priests having sex with other men or each other is ok with you?
If you are- that ends our conversation.
