I'm not sure upon what we are in disagreement. The Church teaches (and you and I agree) that the practice of homosexual (adulterous, etc.) lifestyles is intrinsically sinful. The Church further requires by vow that all priests not already married lead lives of chastity and sanctity, and (you and I agree) that those who break their vows should be removed from the priesthood.

What, then, are we arguing about?

The Church requires its unmarried priests to remain completely chaste. The fact that unchaste priests exist is a problem of enforcement, not of law. Rome needs to come down hard on those who violate priestly purity.

As a point of order, the Church requires all Christians to live a life of chastity. There is such a thing as married chastity.

What then are we arguing about

LOL----I don't think we are arguing at all. I think we are coming into agreement, for the witnessing to the RCs and the RCC's propensity to harbor corrupt and intrinsically evil clerics, as well as preaching a false gospel.:-)

I do thank you for your forthright and honest indulgence in productive discussion.

I am relatively new to this forum, and this is the first time I think I've seen your posts.

Am I correct in that you are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition? It appears so to me.

I'll look for your reply later, time for lunch now.
