I am not Catholic but if they are celibate does it really make any difference?

How would any one know if they are celebate???

The bible tells us that bishops and pastors need to be married with families...People can then look at that marriage and family and determine if a man would be eligible to be a pastor or bishop...

That should eliminate any concern whether a man has homo tendencies...Whether a queer pastor is celibate or not makes no difference...In either case he has no business being a pastor...

How will they know that a candidate is homosexual? Many priests were converted in the seminary.

I suspect many were 'converted' before they went to a seminary...

>>With a gay priest, there are way too many opportunities for pedophilia.<<

Being a priest with homosexual proclivities yet celibate is not an issue in my mind. Same as a hetro I suppose.

Pedophilia is evil. Pedophile priest is absolutely satanic.
