We're learned on these threads that once a man undergoes the ritual of priestly orders, he becomes "another Christ" for life. He never loses that exalted position, meaning for the rest of his life, NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, he remains closer to Christ than you and me.
Thus, the winks and nods between Rome and the bishops. Homosexual priests aren't punished because they are entitled to more than a regular man. No marriage, no women, but...
If Rome really believed homosexual priests were an abomination against God, it would 1) get rid of all the homosexual priests and 2) dump the celibacy requirement.
And let us not forget the pediophile priests who can dispense God's grace. The whole thing would be laughable if it wasn't so blasphamous.
