A fair number of high-profile Catholics would seem to fit into this category, then. Maybe they can buy an indulgence. I hear they're coming back.
Better yet, they can just join a Protestant church that allows them to do whatever they want, like marrying someone of the same sex. They could even be ministers!

A church that performs same-sex “marriage” isn’t even Christian, fr_freak, let alone Protestant, no matter what husk of a building they’re occupying, or what name they claim.
Your Magisterium doesn’t seem especially effective with the “do whatever they want” crowd, either.

Interesting. Instead of your fear about this devolving into anti-Catholic thread, it seems it is the Protestants that are being attacked.

...join a Protestant church that allows them to do whatever they want... The vast majority of Protestant Churches do not accept this, as the poll indicates. A very few false ones do.
Protestants are not regulated under one group of men like Catholics. This is were a lot of misunderstanding comes about between Protestants and Catholics in the US.

I don't think there's too much room for you to claim your religion takes the moral high road on the issue of queers...
