RE: Based on his words, he sees nothing wrong with a homosexual priest.

Yes, that’s what I gather also.

His reasoning seems to be this — if you say there is a danger of sexual abuse from homosexual priests, then the same danger exists for heterosexual priests as well.

Given, this, if we ban priests with gay orientation, why shouldn’t we ban priests with straight orientations? after all, both are subject to temptations, albeit different types.

So, his emphasis is not on the orientation, but on self-control in light of temptation.

Holy Cow. (Religious forum - so I'll keep this clean.

Did you really just say this? (Repeated for emphasis)

FRiend, you really ought not to post things like this. You are doing your side a great deal of harm.

Seriously.
