What does celibacy have to do with homosexuality or molester/priests? One can be celibate and straight and a non-molester. That's a far cry from someone who is a practicing homosexual and an ordained priest, or bishop. Bishop Gene Robinson comes to mind. He's a homosexual priest/bishop who actively engages in sex. Where's the celibacy there? (Yes, I know he's not Catholic, but don't other denominations take a vow of celibacy, or is it just the Catholics?)
