WRONG! Pope Leo XIII once wrote that homosexuality is "a sin so vile that even the angels of hell are repulsed by it". The Church has ALWAYS condemned it and even the new testament says that God leaves homosexuals "to the death they deserve" and refuses to help them. Look, I am no homophobe. I feel sorry for the poor, sickly, disordered wierdos. But what in hell kind of foolish thinking does it take to make one ordain a SODOMITE to the priesthood? For cripes sake! The present scandal is one of homosexuality in the priesthood, not pedophelia. Remember that pedophilia is sex with preteens. But the Sodomite priests have buggered boys in their late teens to the tune of more than 95% of all the cases. Do I have to tell you that men who have sex with young men are sodomites? Is it THAT difficult for you?

You oviously didn't read what I wrote or read the latest Pope's edict on homosexuality which essentially says hate the sin, love the sinner.

We are all sinners. It is impossible to live without sin. But we must try. For you to classify someone else's sin as worse than your own or more incompatible with a church calling than your own sins reeks of judgement far worse than the sin itself. Judgement of that sort is left to God. Being attracted to members of the same sex is not the sin, acting on those feelings is. For priests, acting on any sexual feelings towards children, men or women is incompatible with being a priest. Priests who take advantage of any parishioners in this way should lose their parish responsibilities.

It's simple. The Church doesn't need a 'thought police.' Remove those priests not strong enough to resist temptations of the flesh. Otherwise, let them continue to serve God.

Why I am bothering to repond to your puerile attempt at discorse is a mystery. However:

I don't think being gay is disqualfying for the priesthood.

I disagree with ordaining to the priesthood those who dream of the behavior that compelled God to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. You apparently think it is fine. Disagreeing is something people do. It is something justice and truth call for when somebody purports something immoral or foolish.

I DID read what you wrote, and I found it wrongheaded and disagreeable. My response has nothing to do with the Pope's writings and is not in disagreement with him. But you would know this if you had the rationality to understand the written English word.

Nothing in my post indicated this. But you would know this if you were able to think through a simple English sentence and display a modicum of analytical thought. So I really can't help you any more. Your problem is beyond the scope of this forum. Get some education in English and have somebody help you with logic and anylitical thinking. Life should not be so confusing, and there is help out there.

Good luck.

Homosexuals will not be priests. If the Catholic Church gives the stamp of approval to homosexuals, then every female should get up and move to another church. No woman should ever be told she is not worthy of the priesthood and then sit in mass and watch a " female pretender" or "girly wanna be" tell her how she can live a better life. Puuuuuuuuuleeeze. A night of rest stop sex on I-95 followed by saying mass is not an option.
