Precisely. This reminds me of the magician's 36-24-36-24 square-inches-of-clothing assistant taking a deep breath at the moment the magician swaps in the trick deck of cards.
homosexuals ARE a problme the problem in the priesthood. Priest abuse cases are VASTLY homosexual conduct upon children.
Actually, the problem is homosexuals. I assume that neither of you has ever spent much time around gays, but the problem is that the sexual practice is only one aspect of this. Gay men, for all their decorating skills and personal charm, bring a stunning level of bitchiness and all of the negative aspects of femininity into any situation in which they are in charge. This creates a church environment that is unbearable and kills the Gospel message.
We have to get beyond the criminal aspects, such as pedophilia, and look at the whole picture. If the majority of the clergy is straight, perhaps it would be possible to tolerate a few (celibate) effeminate men among them. But if the majority is gay and effeminate, you have created an environment that is hostile to the Church, to doctrine, to practice and to discipline. And we have had just this situation in the US for way too long.
