Because homosexuality is an abomination before God

I thought you religionists said it was the act, not the person.

[oldironsides]

What the hell does it matter anyway? We were told since we were born that any male was far more preferable to a female in the Catholic Church and the priesthood. The pervert shuffle performed by the "all male club" made sure the protective all male circle was never broken. It is time the women of the church stood up and called on the boneheads to step aside. How dare they put our children at risk? I am disgusted my the poor choices made over and over by these pompous old jades.

I thought you religionists said it was the act, not the person.

But as an athiest, it is none of your business in the first place.

[MissAmericanPie]

It's the sinner that ends up in hell now isn't it, along with his sin and little good it does him that anyone loves him. Loving him, is telling him like it is before the big exit.

[Psalm 73]

I thought you religionists said it was the act, not the person.

Nice labeling, do you pigeon-hole everyone like that?
Sometimes the act cannot be separated from the person, esp. those who define themselves by thier acts. (ie: Homosexuals).

[Antoninus]

I thought you religionists said it was the act, not the person.

If one does not engage in homosexual acts, one is not a homosexual. Healthy individuals do not define their personhood based on what they do with their genitals. A celibate Catholic priest can not be a homosexual because he has voluntarily given up any pretense to a sexual 'identity' in order to properly serve Christ.
