“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.

we all condemn the sin of homosexuality and we should, it is an abomination in the sight of God. But, are we just as quick to condemn the lust in our own hearts when we see an attractive woman or watch images of woman we shouldn’t? Jesus said it’s the same as committing adultrey with that woman. So let’s all take the beam out of our own eye......

in addition, there are many sins that have nothing to do with sex, do we commit these...lying, cursing, cheating, greed, drunkedness, etc. etc.?

“forgive up our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us....”
