You mean the Catholic church is finally going to get rid of its homosexual priests?

After how many thousand years?

And how does the church you attend get rid of the child molesters?

This is a real hangup for you, isn't it??The scandal concerning priests and homosexuality was fairly shortlived, had to do with molestation of young men and was handled poorly by the church....That having been said, the incidence of homosexuality among Catholic clergy is probably no greater nor less that the incidence in any other occupation.....teachers, nurses, business people, attorneys....whatever.

Homosexuality, in and of itself is not sinful....acting on the urges is, and it is so for everyone, not just clergy.

Abortion on the other hand, which seems to be embraced by non=-Catholics is a MAJOR violation....
