German Bishop: Homosexuals May Become Priests

Men sexually attracted to men may become priests, Bishop Franz Jung of Würzburg, Germany, told the German Newspaper Main-Echo (November 3).

According to Jung, there are priests with a homosexual tendency who have to live a celibate life. [But one becomes a "homosexual" only by committing homosexual sins as one becomes a "thief" only through the act of stealing.]

If a priest is engaging in homosexual fornication “we have to talk [sic!] about it”.

In November 2005 the Congregation for Catholic Education published a document strictly prohibiting the ordination of homosexuals.

What do you call people who are attracted to, and desire, things that don't belong to them - that they may not have. That sounds like coveting...against the 10th Commandment. Very similar to the 9th Commandment - lustful coveting. Here we go with the German Bishops and priests again....just like the Garden of Eden. Can we please stop offending Our Lord?

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Another German church tax bureaucrat, unsurprisingly spewing error.
