I cannot honestly and frankly answer that question because I'm single and have no kids. But I do not automatically mistrust someone because of his/her sexual orientation. I try to not label people. I judge each person on his or her own behavior. OK the priest in question should probably not be a priest. But I wonder, how many of you would feel the same about him if he had been hanging out on a street corner handing out beads to see a flash from women? Would that be "OK"? I think not. So the larger question is: Should the Catholic Church finally catch up to the 16th century when Martin Luther broke from it (forming the Protestant Church) for reasons including the prohibition on marriage for priests. Priests still have biological drives and needs, how are they supposed to deal with them? Question none of us are empowered to answer but one the next Pope needs to consider IMHO...
