The idea of some massive witchhunt to root out gay priests who are observing the law of celibacy is absurd and is NOT going to happen.

God, forbid a comment is made that pisses you off!:-) Look, whether or not Catholics know thier priest are gay and celebate is not the problem...There are too many priest already trying to pervert the word to fit their own ideas. Do you really think celibate GAY priest promote biblical teachings?

That's my point...

Well, that's the question, all right.

Can a priest inclined toward sin serve faithfully? Can there be a priest who is not so inclined?

The Bible teaches that to lie with a man as with a woman is an abomination.

If you think about it, but don't do it, and you are heartily sorry before God, I think you can be a fine priest.

If you think God is wrong about this, and you aren't-that probably limits your priestly usefulness.
