You ought ought to se the problem: gays priest are subject to blackmail. They can be intimidated into not preaching Christ. I will stand with any gay priest who stands with the Church, but many will not. In many respects, though, they are no worse than priests ,who are secretly unbelievers When they are tested they betray the Church. Those of the order of Judas.

You know, St. Augustine might have had a problem with blackmail, too, but he didn't. He realized the grace by which he was saved was far more effective than a bunch of whiny babies crying about his previous indiscretions. I repeat: If there are gay priests who have maintained chaste lives after taking their vows of celibacy, then stand up and take a bow. There's no shame in the way you were made, the Good Lord gives new life to all who follow him. It's a moot issue for anyone who is truly in Christ because they're not looking for a way to sin, rather they are looking for a way out of it.
