Now that's another big change of tune, on your part. Keep it up and I may invite you over for dinner some day. Nonetheless, homosexuality is a very serious mental and spiritual disorder. Seriously disordered men should not be leading the flocks of the faithful. Just look at the hideous damage they have wrought so far, not just to the countless boys of our Church, but to the very credibility of our Church, not to mention their abysmal failure to teach the faith that stands in opposition to their precious lifestyle deathstyle. And the priests of Sodom CERTAINLY should NOT be allowed access to boys.

They need to be removed when they are found out. Those who are in the closet are living a lie and willfuly lying to the Church about their forbidden disorder. Doesn't that bother you? Those who are living in direct opposition to canon law need to go before they do any more damage.

Peace.

FURTHERMORE, the Secret Sodomites infecting the priesthood need to be found and removed before they cause any more damage to the truth and destroy more innocent lives. This must be done carefully and compassionately.

It won't be done, of course, because the Amchurch loves its special, gentle ones most of all, because they are best at replacing those mean old doctrines of the Church with new-age feel-good liberal pablum.

No. If they're not sinning, I don't care.

Oh, and the Church teaches that homosexuality, in itself, is not sinful, so they have no obligation to tell the Church anything about their orientation if they're celibate.
