Following Christ involves sacrifice - "Take up thy cross, and follow me." It is precisely the fact that a man who answers God's call to the priesthood makes a tremendous sacrifice. In return he receives tremendous graces.
And of course this is exactly why homosexuals should not be allowed in the priesthood: they aren't giving up anything. No concept of sacrifice - for them it IS just an old boys club. And that's part of the problem.
. . . and you must never have been inside a Catholic parish, there are females all over the place. Just not with collars on.
Other than the wise crack directed at me, you didn’t say anything.
Naturally, with the way the Catholic leaders designed their denomination’s leadership and institution, it is going to always be appealing to homosexual men, the homosexual element will always be there, it will surge to the surface, and then be dampened, repeatedly.
All Catholic Priests vow celibacy, so forbidding homosexuals to be a part of the single men who make up the entirety of the global church leadership, doesn’t seem to be an option.
