Vatican view on homosexuals released
Read a translation here.
I say its super fucked up. Aside from all my other objections, they are rejecting any sort of homosexual (priests included) for their existence, not for their actions. Thus, even a gay priest who remains chaste is rejected, yet even some priest who wants to screw my married mom but doesn't act on it could remain. Gay priests have been coined by the Pope as of "no social value." Yet another example of some supposed leaders (Mix: dumbasses) trying to explain something which they are not.

Seriously folks, this is the Catholic Church we are talking about here. Why does anyone expect enlightened modern-age thinking from these guys? We are talking about a Church so backward and conservative that John Paul was considered a flaming progressive for allowing Mass to be given in languages other than Latin. In the 1960's, a good 1500 years after Latin ceased to be a spoken language on Earth.
We don't expect the Klu Klux Klan to come out with a non-discrimination policy, so why do we expect modern thinking from a dark-ages instutution?

Very closed minded... you would think that a church of such power would actually take a look at society and realities and accept people and issues as they are... instead of being afraid of change...

Catholic Church is not an NGO although its service saves literally millions of people through its extensive networks of charity, it's a guardian of the Catholic Faith.
And this latest doctrine change is for the lay Catholic to sort out.

While not a Catholic, I still don't understand why the Catholic church would need to, nor should, change it's view to gain popularity with those who do not subscribe to that faith to begin with.
Every religious institution has their own set of values, if you can't accept them then you simply choose not to follow their teachings.
