If a queer priest obeys his vow of chastity, I have no problem with him.
“If a queer priest obeys his vow of chastity, I have no problem with him.”
I question whether the priest is queer in that case.
Suppose you have a hetero priest who stays celibate the whole length of his priesthood. He is not therefore an adulterer or a fornicator, just because he did not act on any desire to have sex with a woman.
So if you have a homo priest who stays celibate the whole length of is priesthood, I am not sure I’d call him queer at that point. He is not indulging himself in any sinful sexual behavior; any more than any other celibate priest.
“If a queer priest obeys his vow of chastity, I have no problem with him.”
So you’ll trust him around your your teenaged sons, hoping he doesn’t slip up? And what kind of a role model does he provide for impressionable teens? This was classifed in the DSM as a mental disorder not too long ago, and it appears to have been reclassifed for political reasons.
As recent events have clearly demonstrated, it’s not wise to put people with this type of compulsion in charge of others’ spiritual welfare.
I have seen it happen.
