I don't think being gay is disqualfying for the priesthood. Engaging in homosexual acts is however.

This is like saying being a thief should not disqualify one from the prieshood. Stealing, however should.

It sort of is. Do you believe in redemption or forgiveness of sins?

"This is like saying being a thief should not disqualify one from the prieshood. Stealing, however should." NON-SEQUITER ALERT! WOW. HOW SLOW ARE ALL OF YOU FOLKS? NO. Priests, like public school biology teachers, can be either heterosexual or homosexual or nonsexual or pansexual. But if they ACT on those or any other impulses in a way that damage other people they are not priests, they are predators. Just like junior high-school soccer coaches who diddle their students. Got it?
