He said to the apostles, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.”

Gays in the church need to search their conscience. Note he points out the example of a not sexually active gay priest...who are we to judge?
We must pray for the homosexuals who are seeking God and that as they seek God they can search their conscience. In those efforts they will not only see the sin, but must find the strength to fight the temptation. A church or congregation whose doors are closed, is overly judgmental where they should show God’s mercy for the sinner are a problem.
No sinner truly comes to God, until they examine their conscience. If after hearing the Word and self-examination they choose to remain in their sin then as Catholics and Christians we’ve done all we can do. If they choose to confess their sin we need to be merciful like God and recognize some have temptations far worse than others. Be it drugs, alcohol, pornography, or homosexuality... It is not up to us to ‘judge’ them for those temptations. It is up to us to pray for them, guide them, and be strong with them.
“..Note he points out the example of a not sexually active gay priest...who are we to judge? ..”
Very good.
Temptation is not wrong; only giving in to the temptation is wrong.
btw, the Catechism calls homosexuality a disorder.
