Due to the moral and prudential risks involved, homosexuals should usually not be admitted to or maintained in the Catholic priesthood. Nor should they be permitted to instruct or have close contact with school children. Failures in either respect are contrary to good sense.

As for the "he who is without sin" line, it is more than just a call to balance and equity in the application of moral standards.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged, For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" – Matthew 7:1-3

My guess is that even though you "do not believe in religion," you might find merit in that particular religious teaching for reflection on and remedy of one's own failings.

Glad we agree. Now explain to me why that writer of a harmless children's book should have been publicly shamed due to his sexual orientation?

You've conveniently ignored that question.........
