It’s good that Pope Francis stated again that the Church must accept homosexuals into the fold, as they, too, are part of God’s family. He says we should accept and not judge any person who follows God, even, I assume, homosexual priests (gasp!).
Well, duh! Homosexuality is a “sin” when practiced. If a person is, within himself, a homosexual–or tax cheater or liar or Tweeter of unsavory pictures–he has the inclination but doesn’t “sin” until he actually practices that inclination.
Priests take a vow not to enter into sexual relationships. Which is more important, that one is inclined toward AC or DC or that he breaks that vow? If he keeps his vows and goes about a life of priestly work and doesn’t flaunt or promote his sexual preference–who cares? If God does, isn’t that between God and him?
Let the Church discipline and reject those who fail to keep their vows, not just a group that “real” men somehow feel threatened by.
Amen
Back atcha!
