A married priest cannot become a bishop.

But a queer priest or a pedo-priest can...

Not canonically. Not if he's known as a pedo or a homosexual.

It's like saying "Embezzlers shouldn't become ministers." Right. If a guy puts "embezzler" on his application to the Board of Deacons/Board of Directors of the Morningstar Baptist Church, they should show him the door!

Has the usual, godly rule "don't hire sodomites and pedos" been ignored by bad bishops, bad seminary rectors? Yes. That's wicked and maddening, but not surprising. Sodomites, like embezzlers, protect their own.

All the problems in the Catholic Church are caused by sinners sinning. Probably true of your church, too.

Not if he has acted upon his desires and it has become known that he did so. Typically if they rise that high it is because no one reported them early enough.
