"I find it insulting to demean their memory and their years of service by even hinting that they were unfit for priesthood because of their sexual orientation," he wrote.

Let's not beat around the bush. Homosexuality is a behavior. When that behavior is engaged in one is a homosexual. Before that point, one is not. If one gives that behavior up, then one is no longer a homosexual.

Even the CDC bases their statistics on BEHAVIOR.

Therefore, these Jesuits are idiots. To the extent that men had sex with men, these priests were unfit for the priesthood.

The pope is right. They are wrong.

And this behavior of homosexuality is a choice! (Just like chastity is a choice!)
