Gay bishops

[Doh]

I dont give a damn about gays for what they do is their own buiseness but aint priest supposed NOT to have any kind of sexual life ?

What do you think about this?is the church becoming more "socially advanced" or is it becoming less moral?

[Haddock]

It's becoming a big pile of self-contradicting shit. I have no problem with gays, but if you're gonna be a gay don't fucking be a priest in a religion where homosexuality is discouraged.

Marriage and sex, yes, for members of the right religious denomination.

And don't they say, love your fellow Man?

I guess they are just taking it a little bit to literally.

Yes, Bishops and priests in the Catholic religion, are not supposed to have any kind of sexual intercourse because when they take on the priesthood they are supposed to devote every moment of their lives to God. But you must understand this...Bishops are men. And it is in the nature of men to have sex. So unfourtnately it is other members of the church who suffer for this. I know that it isn't right for them to do what they do but in some ways you have to understand why they do it....

The churches have the right to hire or not hire whoever they want in my book. They're private organizations, after all.

[ArmsMerchant]

Depends on the religion.

I have no problem with gay priests, it's the pedophiles who cause the problems. And pedophiles are not necesarily gay, by the way.

Being gay does not necessarily equate to a sex life. it just means you are a homo. So gay priests are no biggy as long as they aren't banging 5 year olds in closets.

Yes, but the priest in question is Anglican (church of England). Anglican priests are allowed to marry. Of course, I hold with those who think that the man should not be a Bishop.
