Do you agree that RC clergy who practice instrinsically evil and sinful acts, should remain clergy? Do you believe their intrincally evil sinfulness should be protected by the heirarchy within the RCC?

I certainly don't , for Protestants, or any other denomination. Neither did St. Paul setting a high standard for pastors and overseers in 1 Timothy 3, as well as other places. Would you agree?

How many people are there in this "perfect clergy" of yours? Not very many, I might reckon. Or are you only speaking of certain intrinsically evil and sinful acts?

There you go spouting off without reading the full context and seeing things that aren't there again.

Notice dave, please pay special attention! The context was of those who practice homosexuality, pedophilia and other ongoing, habitual, continuous practice of sin without benefit of true repentance.

Ya see, there you go trying to poo poo away pedophile priests and other perverted clergy by making a strawman argument that just because they aren't perfect, they shouldn't be disallowed as clergy.

Would you allow a habitual murderer to be a priest?

I'm not saying one has to be perfect----Im saying they shouldn't be clergy when they are engaging in the ongoing, continuous, habitual practice of walking in darkness, whether it be homosexuality, pedophilia, fornication, adultery, stealing, murder, drunkenness, being a dope addict, etc, etc. One doesn't have to be "perfect", however, anyone in the clergy does have to hold a pretty high standard, Scripture says so, and that standard includes not being a pedophile, adulterer, fornicator, theif, murderer, drunkard, etc, etc.
