See above. No mentioning the lesbians. However, it looks like the gays already in priesthood might be defrocked, or at least removed from active ministry.

I, of course, agree that morally lesbianism is no different than male homosexuality; the difference is that priests minister to the flock as figures of authority, and the religious generally don't. Besides the chief problem has been not mere homosexuality but pederasty, a necessarily male disorder.

I agree with you, male homosexuality in the church has led the way to where we are now insofar as the scandal and hurt it has caused the faithful.

I guess I was reacting at the gut level because it seems to be a lot of ignoring or downplaying the women similarly afflicted, their sins, their ultimate salvation or damnation. Sin is sin, ALL these people need our prayers AND their pruning from our beloved institutions.

When society starts to equate what is legal, and what is now culturally gaining currency with what is acceptable, our religious, no matter their gender, need to be leading the Body of Christ AWAY FROM these seductions of Satan.

Masles homosexuality is necessarily wilder than lesbianism, although I have read that in classical times women could get rather frenzied. So no tellling, although this mal;e may be oblivious to what is obvious to women.
