Because they're just sick and are total hypocrites.

This error you are making is called donatism - the idea that priests have to be perfect.\n\nAnd St. Augustine answered this challenge of yours 1600 years ago.\n\nhttp://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1408.htm

Alright people. Enough with the jokes on the priests and little boys. It's extremely immature. People make mistakes and yes it was wrong. The pope and clergy are trying to fix this problem. GIVE IT A REST!\n\nA Catholic priest is the person who conducts the Mass and the sacraments. They are the "shepherds" of the church and are to help the "sheep" find their way in their faith.\n\nOn the subject of presbyteral ministry I have never heard that before and I am a Catholic so I can't help you there.

It just comes down to watering down what the bible says to appease people more and more as their morals degrade.\n\nFor a 'christain' country and for 'christian' priests you would think that the bible should be the authority on which to base their morals wouldn't you.  But no! even though it is undeniably clear that god totally condemns homosexuality in a number of places in the bible, they see it fit to either ignore this or say that god has changed his mind!?  On what authority can they say that god has changed his mind?\n\nBy these things they identify themselves with false religion which god will soon destroy, not true religion.

Anyone who would respect and listen to a gay bishop's spiritual leadership would listen to Satan himself.  Anyone who would consider respecting and listening to a gay bishop knows nothing about God or the Bible.  My recommendation is a gay bishop needs Christ as he certainly doesn't have him yet.

Now this is just my opinion!  for many years catholic priests have sexually assaulted young boys and it was covered up by the catholic communities?Only in recent years have there been  charges filed against these priests.They can no longer "just transfer" them to a new parish!Because some of those boys and their families were brave enough to contact a police department instead of the church!I have often wondered,why aren't the priests allowed to marry? because they are trying to be God like,because Christ wasn't married? now in answer to your question,I think they'd probably get rid of the woman and child to protect the pope's reputation and credibility!

Dear fellow child of God,\n\nThe Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy. \n\nThe Church specifically says, "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."\n\nWith love in Christ.

Hasn't the current Pope already said that celibate gay men can't be priests?  Sounds like he's got the first victims picked out already....

I'm a Catholic. I know of a regional priest here who left the Church to marry a woman. He's now an Episcopal priest. As the media is all too happy to inform us, there are also a number of gay priests out there. I suppose that some priests find the Church's demands for a  celibate clergy too much to live up to. That may be the real issue, with the gay-vs-straight issue being something of a smokescreen (gay or straight, celibacy isn't for everyone). I know that celibacy was certainly a concern of mine when I was considering becoming a monk (a move that would've required me to emotionally and physically abandon my girlfriend). What people aren't concentrating on is the vast majority of priests who handle it just fine and are doing their jobs efficiently.

because they are brainwashed into believing something and it seems so convincing to them and once they have read the bible they cant be open to any other suggustions or logical explantions to how the world etc started and they get a temper when u even try to discuss it openly there are so many bad christians and priests out there its not funny if they want some guy they have never met or have proof rule there life and make them be so called good people like they are in prison then they can go for it but if you ask me its all a ploy to get power and dominates but also relief for people that are lost and need help.

Why does these hav to do with gays?

Personally, I never understood that.  Especially for priests.  Holy men should have families, not be sexually suppressed and molest little boys.  It is a gift from God to have a life partner, and to have children.  Men of the cloth should have that blessing and I dont know where chastidy= faith comes from.  Never understood it and I thank I found a faith which encourages marraige and discourages being single!

There was a time when the priest of Israel where the only means of communicating with God.  They abused their priveledge and then it was no more.  Catholic priest also have abused their power.  They are not your father.  They seek to deceive you.  You speak of the scriptures and say you understand their meaning.  Then do what is asked of you.  Many will persecute you and call you all kinds of names.  But for Christ sake endure these things.  For your treasures are not on this earth.  We will discuss this more when we get there.
