I agree. Besides, even if some homosexual priests get ordained, there is a big difference between cultivating homosexuality and failing to detect unsuitable priests as a matter of exception.

My guess is that there has been a percentage of gay priests throughout history. But only since the 60s they were taught that their condition is fine as long as they contain themselves. Consequently was had been isolated scandal before became gay culture in the priesthood, rife with scandal, till the recent past.

Yes, and that's exactly the same creeping humanism that has beset and led astray many among Protestant groups...the creeping acceptability line as to who/what was acceptable, with increasing disregard for what we are told by the Bible about this.

The Church will either reconsider the creeping standard and reset the bar or it will allow the bar to be ever moved until it'll be "do your own thing" as to the Priesthood.
