I agree with you. I’m not a fan of Elton John but he is an extremely talented songwriter and performer.

As stipulated, I’m not catholic and rarely agree with their doctrine, however, they need to keep singing from the same hymnbook

Elton correctly called them out for their hypocrisy

As it turns out, I am Catholic, and a fan of Elton John's music. John seems to be avoiding the whole issue of whether or not homosexuality is sinful or not, though it obvious he thinks it is not. Rather, he rightfully points out that the mission of the Church is contradictory if it defines homosexuality a sin while investing in a film that celebrates the activity. In that regard, he is correct, as you say.

The Church is entrusted with a great deal of financial support from believers around the globe. Surely, they can find ways to invest that furthers their mission of serving the needs of the poor through health care, housing and food programs, or education services; things that improve the lives of Catholics and leads them to a life guided by the teaching of Jesus Christ.

It's astonishing that the Church strays from their mission, but God love Elton John for reminding them!
