It seems that so many of our so called "pastors" are letting the wolves graze amoungst the sheep. This homosexual lifestyle is wrong and we are in trouble when people in the Church normalize it like it is a "normal family" so come bring your pot lock dinner. If Jesus said that it is adultery to look with lust in your heart with a member of the opposite sex and he said that a man and a woman shall marry and the two shall become one flesh and then we know that he said he was a fulfillment of the Law which condemns homosexual acts as an abomination then those in the Church will be judged by Christ for not calling homosexuals to repentance. Instead some of our pastors are encouraging this lifestyle and then when the good priests speak out against this perverse and unhealthy life style which kills the soul and can send souls to hell if they die in a state of unrepentant sin, these good priests are castigated by the laity or the hierarchy for not being "politically correct".
We are having a sexual scandal in the clergy precisely because there is a homosexual problem which is given a wink and a nod by so many Bishops. The wistle blowers are condemned as was the case in that Va. Diocese with bishop Laverde and that good priest who spoke of the homosexual priest problem and he had his priestly faculties stripped. Stephen Brady wrote about it in Roman Catholic Faithful web sit. In Cleveland a young 17 year old was told not to make public the advances that a priest made on him or everyone in his step dad's class of deacons would have to step down. It would cause a scandal. They gave the boy some money for counseling and within 10 years that priest was put in a very large parish despite many complaints that the priest would not wash his hands at the Lavabo and other unorthodox statements he made about the priesthood, purgatory, and the magesterium. The diocese told people who complained about him that they were ruining his good reputation when all the while they knew in his personnel file that he admitted to having made advances on the boy and that he received counseling. This priest was made pastor of a LARGE and wealthy church were people were complaining about him . This church had a big grade school. There is a big push that the homosexual Man Boy love group is putting out to lower the age of consent between adults and young teens and Fr. Paul Shanley was there poster boy who had molested all those children. I heard that he was not going to do much time in jail.
Actually they're accused of being 'hateful' which, apparently, is a greater sin than engaging in homosexual activity. Frankly, their problem is the same as the Bishops had with their abusing priests. They're going overboard in being 'compassionate' and 'pastoral', and they're not being strong in what the Church teaches and trying to turn the sinners away from their lifestyle and sinful behavior.
