He seems to not understand that what they do is not who they are.

So sinning does NOT make us sinners?

We are sinners whether we sin or not. It's the nature that we inherited from Adam and Eve. Even after one recieves Jesus as Savior and Lord (becomes saved) one is still a sinner, Just a forgiven sinner.

However, having an unnatural temptation does not make you a pervert. Acting on it does. Having a temptation to murder someone does not make you a murderer, acting on it does. Havinga tempation to steal does not make you a thief, acting on it does. These 'gay' priests who are celibate and who do not identify themselves as 'gay' are not sinning that way.
