There are heterosexual pedophiles also. Sin is sin, and none of it, including adultery, fornication, drunkenness, dishonesty in financial dealings, riotous living, stealing, dishonoring parents, coveting what your neighbor has, tec - NONE of it should be in the lives of those in ministry, especially in leaders like Deacons, Priests or Bishops! Homosexuality is only ONE of the disqualifying sins.

Let him (or her) who is without sin cast the first stone.

Uh, apparently you didn't understand what I was saying or didn't read my entire post.

My point was that no sexual sin should be treated 'softly' by the church, including homosexuality. The statement I had copied/pasted sounded all soft and gushy, like homosexuality was a 'lesser' sexual sin that pedophilia. As you have yourself stated, it is not.
