So, what explains the homosexuality in the priesthood in the Catholic church and the fact that the Catholic church hasn't dealt with it?

Look like all things they redefine sin.. it is fine to be gay as long as it is only in your head.,God is not mocked to even think about it is an abomination.. but Catholics are very into keeping the out side of the cup clean

Your sect’s perversions are greater in scope and scale.

Jesus didn't make much distinction between the heart and the action.

He said to lust after a woman caused one to commit adultery in his heart with her. I'm sure the same applies to homosexuals.

I wouldn't bet on that. From what I've seen in the lives of most Catholics, it's all lip service. I never noticed any effort on the part of Catholics to do better. They just figure that they'll take care of it in confession, and hey, if the priest drinks and smokes, they can to, because if the priest can do it and still make it to heaven, God's not going to condemn them either. He expects more out of priests after all, and if they get a pass, everyone else will.

Kind of twisted reasoning, but then again, there never was any success in talking morals and ethical behavior to your average lay Catholic.
