The subject is "Catholic priesthood" particularly gay men.

This is the fruit of disobedience to the word of God.

You contradict yourself and also got caught in the linguistic literalism trap of quoting Scripture out of context. Now how about posting those passages in Scripture where celibacy is praised by both Christ and Paul? That won't happen because you know it blows your argument out of the water.

Celibacy is never taught by Christ or Paul as an obligation or requirement and remember Paul also gave a very timely warning regarding this subject Christians would do well to heed, "better to marry than to burn".
