>>BTW, No different for adulturer's or child molester's<<

I disagree.

I think it is possible to repent of adultery, to seek amendment of life, and in essence, to "go and sin no more".

It is most unusual (I don't think it occurs at all) for Christians who have committed this sin to preach that it is a good thing, or that the Church should bless adulterous relationships, or that it should place unrepentant and public adulterers in positions of authority and respect.

The gay priest problem is exactly this-advocates of gay priests (and of divorce) do not seek repentance and change-they want the Church to proclaim from the rooftops that bad is good.

Oh, I agree. The point I was making is sin is sin. Aldultury is no less a sin than homosexuality. A lust in the heart is a lust in the heart.
