Never miss a chance to Protestant bash do you? That's all the Protestant haters do these days, I see.
So, what explains the homosexuality in the priesthood in the Catholic church and the fact that the Catholic church hasn't dealt with it?
Probably that newly rewritten *gay* edition.
Certainly not the one handed down to us by God.
For a short time longer.
God has the last laugh.
He has declared that He will hae the evil doers IN DERISION.
They are desperate for membership ...any body will do
Poor John Wesley is rolling over in his grave
And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the
commandments of men.

Welllllllll
The Vatican Cult made it up in the beginning of their 300-400AD founding.
What cheek whining about folks they accuse of making it up as they go along.
LOL.
As I said, the Church is 100% sinful sinners in need of mercy and salvation.
The Church, through her gift of infallibility, rejects sin unequivocally. Always has.
In addition to our sins, the human members of the Church make prudential errors. This is a sad remnant of the fall.
Look like all things they redefine sin.. it is fine to be gay as long as it is only in your head.,God is not mocked to even think about it is an abomination.. but Catholics are very into keeping the out side of the cup clean
Could be they need to go to a church where they can actually find it..
Please post the verified statistics for your own sect’s perversions and also those of the Church.
Then we can discuss your question in a fair and unbiased manner.
Your sect’s perversions are greater in scope and scale.
Your perverted sects mock God.
Jesus didn't make much distinction between the heart and the action.
He said to lust after a woman caused one to commit adultery in his heart with her. I'm sure the same applies to homosexuals.
Check out:
confessingumc.org
This is the official site for the revival and orthodoxy movement within the church.
Here you will find information on LifeWatch, the UMC mission to end abortions and promote life.
If temptation = sin (as you say), then God is not merciful.
But in fact Jesus is divine and perfect mercy.
I wouldn't bet on that. From what I've seen in the lives of most Catholics, it's all lip service. I never noticed any effort on the part of Catholics to do better. They just figure that they'll take care of it in confession, and hey, if the priest drinks and smokes, they can to, because if the priest can do it and still make it to heaven, God's not going to condemn them either. He expects more out of priests after all, and if they get a pass, everyone else will.
Kind of twisted reasoning, but then again, there never was any success in talking morals and ethical behavior to your average lay Catholic.
Where did I say that? Provide the links.....
Your words attack your favorite straw man: sinners in the midst of sin.
The sins of those in the Church do not define the Church.
What a pitiful sect you belong to hold otherwise.
How about Christians who don't struggle with their sins, and who, rather, call their sins not sin?
