It says in the bible that men shall not bed with other men, or women shall not bed with other women. That is God's law. God says it's wrong, and evil. Although priests are supposed to be celibate, it's the sin that makes one evil. It says that if your eye causes you to sin, to gouge it out, or if your tonge causes you to sin, to cut it out. If you think about having gay sex, you are sinful, and evil. So, with that said, if you are a GAY Priest, you are evil, as your mind will cause you to sin.
Gay Priests are inconsistent with God's word, and God's law. The Catholic Faith, and all faiths for that matter need to realize the sins they commit in the name of tolerance. I say defrock all gay priests. Remove them from their posts. They are evil, and potentially dangerous to the spiritual and mental health of the world.
All according to God's laws.
I would put this on a Bumper Sticker if I could.
Okay, now that we've gotten rid of that problem, what do we do with all the adulterers, fornicators, gossips, drunkards, gluttons, etc., etc.? (All according to God's laws...)
IF you define homosexuality as a sexual attraction to your own sex, and if a priest by that definition is and remains celibate, then how can you argue that he should be defrocked. He has committed no sin.
No--zero tolerance should be based on ACTS OF WILL--not thoughts. If ANY priest commits a CRIME (sexual acts with a minor of EITHER sex) then they should be turned in to the civil authorities for adjudication. Where the church has fallen down is that they have tried to handle these matters internally and secretly.
