[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's an open secret that a majority of the College of Cardinals are gay and non-celibate.[/b] But what the Catholic church is trying to do (that the Episcopal church is not) is to actually maintain some continuity in this Christian religion.[b] And Scripture and Tradition (i.e., the Magisterium) clearly and consistently put forward that homosexual acts are sinful.[/b]

So if you want to be affirmed for your sex acts, you'll have to go Episcopal or Unitarian or something and join the grievance fest. But if you want to be affirmed for your image as a child of God in communion with all the saints and angels, give the Catholics a chance.[/quote]

No. It isn't.

And scripture does not "clearly and consistently" put forth any such thing (although tradition does, but that is such BS that it is a huge part of why we have protestantism).

Yes, it is an open secret. I worked for the Catholic Church. The head of our diocese was an old Queen. I had worked previously in the entertainment business. I know an old Queen when I see one. Forcing someone to be celibate is just not human and has lead to the very uptight, secretive clerical culture we have which is like something like you'd hear about in a pre-Stonewall documentary. Not all priests are gay but many of them are.[/quote]
