I'm not. However, I have advanced this viewpoint before and been royally screwed over, so that's why I expect it.

As far as being a copout, I don't get your point.

I think women priests are fine.

I don't think avowed practicing homosexuals who have cheated on their wives should be made bishops.

I don't think advocating abolishment of capital punishment while accepting abortion is fine.

I don't think taking an active liberal position against the war is fine.

To be a woman is not inherently sinful--that's stupid. There are many women who should never be made priests or bishops.

I don't think homosexuality is a sin, but I don't think it's an excuse for sinful behavior.

OK. I actually hadn't considered that you were in favor of women's ordination. In that case it's not a copout, but it is a grave error.

I don't think anyone's advancing that position; however, they still should not be priests.

I don't know how to follow-up this statement, since it seems we're on different wavelengths as it involves moraility, but if homosexuality is not sinful, how can any homosexual acts be sinful?
