Because it has nothing to do with the actual act, it has to do with the condition of one's heart. It is such a perverted thing for someone who supposedly believes in Christ to be leading people and instructing them on Christ's teaching to pervert the scriptural passages for their own justifications...DEBASED SELFISHNESS
BTW, No different for adulturer's or child molester's.
If a priest is not teaching Catholic Doctrine, then he should be disciplined, or suspended.
Did you read the article? Have you been reading ANY article in the last six months? There are likely thousands of gay priests in the United States, like the one above. No one knows their sexual orientation, outside of a few. 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.
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.
