The posts by everyone leading up to this point assumes because the priest has mentioned that he has a gay orientation he acts on it and therefore should be removed from the priesthood.

Homosexuality is a grave disorder as described in the CCC. But alcoholism, drug abuse, gambling, etc. are also disorders but are not usually reasons to remove someone from the priesthood you see talked about.

If the priest says he can and does live a chaste life, then he is no different than the hetrosexual priest in living a celibate life. This is the situation we are currently in.

I believe that the ordination of gay men into the priesthood was and is a mistake by the Bishops which we are stuck dealing with until the practice is stopped.

The problem with your statements is called reality.
The reality is that this priest has been a homosexual activist. This in itself renders one unfaithful - and in an obstiante way.

Celebrating Mass for "gays and lesbians" is not that same as ministering to sinners. In fact, such Masses are CELEBRATIONS of SINFUL ACTS, not the disordered condition.

Here's a fascinating look into gays in the priesthood. The writer shows they have been there for generations.

Are gay priests to blame?
