Not canonically. Not if he's known as a pedo or a homosexual.

It's like saying "Embezzlers shouldn't become ministers." Right. If a guy puts "embezzler" on his application to the Board of Deacons/Board of Directors of the Morningstar Baptist Church, they should show him the door!

Has the usual, godly rule "don't hire sodomites and pedos" been ignored by bad bishops, bad seminary rectors? Yes. That's wicked and maddening, but not surprising. Sodomites, like embezzlers, protect their own.

All the problems in the Catholic Church are caused by sinners sinning. Probably true of your church, too.

...well, you know, some on this religion forum are of the opinion that that their churches are free from sin...

...to tell them otherwise impinges on their myopia...think of their feelings before you hurt them...

Could be true...But no one in my church promotes queers or any one unmarried to higher positions...In fact, there are no higher positions than a pastor or elder...

You don’t think it becomes well known in all orders of the priesthood, who is queer & who is not? And that some of these queers priests are promoted to higher positions of authority, despite common insider knowledge of their perverted inclinations?
