Paul is warning Timothy about the Gnostics, Marcionites, Encratites, Manicheans and other ancient heretics who absolutely condemned all marriage and the use of all kinds of meat because they believed all flesh was from an evil source. Try posting the following verses from Scripture: Matthew 19:12, 27-29; Luke 18:28-30, 1 Corinthians 7:8, 32-33.

Religious hypocrisy always makes the crime much worse. This is the fruit of disobedience to the word of God.

You might want to tell that to these Protestants, who didn't take vows of celibacy.

The subject is "Catholic priesthood" particularly gay men. I really don't care what religious flavor evil prefers, or how ancient the words of God are. Sodom was even then an ancient city, yet the inspired authors found it to be a fitting example of these ancient words.

2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
