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.

The bar, so to speak, is immutable. The issue of women Ordination is settled. No woman may be ordained as a Catholic Priest.

The issue of Homosexuality in the Church is also settled. Homosexuality is defined as an objective disorder, and is always sinful.

Marriage can only be entered between a Man and a Woman, and only in the Church is that recognized. Furthermore, many do not know this, but if you are Married secularly, you are living in Sin according to the Church without the Sacrament of Marriage? There are narrow circumstances where Marriages that lack cononical form can be recognized.

In the Church we have many things that have not changed despite the popular perception.

I agree as to the immutable aspects of what you describe.

Wholeheartedly agree.

But, there has already been a MUTABILITY, a modification, within the Church in years past to instruct that homosexuals were "alright" in the Priesthood as long as they remained celibate, as same with heterosexuals.

In fact, many Catholics and many Priests today instruc that, and it represents an lack of faithfulness to what is immutable.

My point, earlier, was that the immutable aspect to these issues (which you delineate) will either be reaffirmed or the mutability, the modifications in place now which counter the immutable aspects to some of what you describe (mostly as to male homosexuals in the Priesthood, and female homosexuals in religious orders), will be allowed to stand. And, almost certainly, if allowed to stand, will lead to further corruption...a further turning away from what the Church teaches to actually negatively affect what the Church teaches.

Which has already occured among some protestant organizations, same modifications toward similar corruptions of Biblical truth.
