whether the Church is homophobic or not (and, unfortunately, it often is) is irrelevant here. Priests are forbidden from being in romantic or sexual relationships of any kind. they're called to celibacy
The Church does its best to force gays to be celibate whether of not they are priests and whether or not they are Catholic. It then demands that they be subject to discrimination whether or not they are chaste. The Church is shit and should have no excuses made for it.

Elzenberg Wouldn't that be true of gay and straight priests? If they don't want to abide by the rules leave.....or better yet don't become a priest at all. Go to one of the more accepting and believable faiths that allow priests to marry and have relationships. This Catholic thing is a dying organization. Sad, but true.
@@Kitiwake Again Pat there is no defect. The very assertion that there is shows how ignorant people today can still be. It is who a person is. Who they were born to be. If you believe it is a choice it is only because you have considered it for yourself and perhaps rejected acting on it. Most intelligent people secure in who they are do not think of it as a choice at all for they know they could never make that decision. The world is a far better place because of diversity. Wouldn't it be awful if we were all exactly like you?
Its not that you're gay. Its because you choose to continue having a relationship with someone despite the fact that Priests are expected to remain celibate for the rest of their lives. Don't use the 'homophobic/LGBT' as an excuse to get sympathy. You were caught dating someone. You should've just converted to Mormon or Angelican so that you can get married.
Catholicism is false anyway. They include idol worship by using images and praying to saints. If imperfect humans could intercede on our behalf, then there was no need for Jesus to die for us, as the Bible clearly states that only Jesus intercedes on our behalf (Romans 8:34 and Hebrews 7:25).
If you have an interior struggles, why ask for ordination. Remember that before you consider the discipline of celibacy, you must first understand the virtue of chastity.
Norlito Concepcion Because the church and the misguided faithful (Society as a whole) teach these people that who they are is wrong. It teaches them that to exist in a world of hate many must hide. Some choose to lead a life, marry and pretend to be straight. Many enter the Seminary and become priests. It must be horrible having to lie to yourself and others about who you are. If being born with black hair was considered a sin, people would shave their head bald or dye it blond. Unfortunately sooner or later their true being will appear. The color of our hair like our sexuality is who we were born to be. Stupid people just don't get that.
It was a way for homosexual persons to pursue a life as a Roman Catholic, now that homosexuality has become more acceptable there are less vocations to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Presumably many young men entering the Roman Catholic seminaries did not know that the Roman Catholic were a hot bed for homosexual predation as has been exemplified perfectly by the predation of seminarians by at least two Roman Catholic Cardinals US Theodore "call me Uncle Ted" McCarrick and Scotland Keith O'Brien
exactly i hate it how they are saying its about discrimination of him being gay but the fact is if you takes your vows in church you are not even supposed to be with a women so even if this guy is gay or straight he is not to have any relationship with anyone if he has taken the vow to serve god in the Catholic way
pink roses Well, it would be if it said that being homosexual was like being an alcoholic. But of course no biblical writer says such ridiculous trash.
The bishop who ordained this guy should be punished. For centuries the Catholic and Orthodox Churches banned homosexuals from being ordained.....now that this rule has been flaunted.....destruction follows.
The Bishop who ordained this PRIEST Iis as likely to be a Roman Catholic sexually active Bishop either homosexually or heterosexually. did you not know that?.
I've not broken the vow of celibacy "most" of my life. Says it all really. You know the rules. You know the church teaching. If you can't follow it don't be a priest.
No, that he made it public. Breaking the vow is a sin, though a heavy one, like others and no reason for getting kicked out. There are many priests with illegal children and their bishops know but they are dismissed as soon as they legally accept fatherhood. As long as they pay for the children - I hope bishops encourage and supervise that - they can stay priests
Justin Pyle that’s actually a mistranslation, The original verse was “a man shall not lay with a boy”, even if it wasn’t a mistranslation Christians aren’t supposed to follow Leviticus anyway since it’s a part of the old covenant not the new covenant, following the old covenant means you don’t believe Jesus was the messiah making you not Christian.
Funny you say that, considering that that’s from the book of Leviticus and many of those rules have been disregarded, such as foods that are “unclean” and the disabled not being able to go to the altar
Great solution for gay priests suppressing their orientation: Don't ordain gay men. Don't lie about your sexuality if you want to be a priest - if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. Gay men are still living, breathing parts of the Church, it is no less so just because gay men can't be priests. Orthodoxy isn't there to bully or unjustly exclude people, it's there to keep the Church holy, and orthodoxy should be close to the heart of every Catholic Christian. My man, you can still teach the Faith and be a shoulder to cry on in your parish, without being a priest. Just be social.
Great solution. Stop calling the Catholic Church "Catholic". It's not universal. It's a lie. The Catholic church has murdered gays for centuries. It persecutes even abstinent gays. It is shit.
You can't always get what you want. If you can't remain celibate, you don't get to try and change doctrine. God doesn't change. People do. "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil , AMEN
Notnow 212 People are mortal. Their job is to learn to love and not judge. Their job is to spread God's love to all. Condemning someone because they sleep with someone is so far from what Jesus had in mind it is almost a joke. The only reference Jesus ever made to sexual behavior was adultery and that is because it is breaking the vows one makes before God. This is all so silly. Grown men and women arguing over who someone else sleeps with.
Actually, nowhere in the Bible does it say Priests should be celibate. All the Jewish priests were married and of the Levi Tribe. This is just a silly rule the early Church created. Also, Bible scholars (which sure aren't commenting here) have shown that the anti-gay remarks in the Bible were all directed at temple prostitution, where you could go to a temple and pay to have sex with a male, if you were a male. This allowed you to achieve some sort of bizarre oneness with the pagan god, since they also believed that the Priest became the god in the ritual just like the Eucharist Priest becomes Jesus. There was no such thing as a gay sexual orientation then in the Biblical mind. They could not conceive of it. They were talking about men who have sex with men in the temple of BAAL. This was the only acknowledged homosexuality that existed then in the Biblical mind. So now you are applying it 21 centuries later to 2 men who deeply love each other? Ludicrous. The Vatican will change since their doctrine is based on interpretation of Scripture that totally ignores Bible scholarship in universities today.
Pope Francis did not makeup the celibacy rule. Even if he wanted to change it... The Pope cannot change the Dogma of the Roman Catholic Church... I don't understand this man... who claims he is a priest ...that he doesn't know this dogma. He wants everything changed to what he wants. Very, very selfish man. it's all about him.
OK, but celibacy is not a dogma, is a simple "discipline" of the Church, so it can be changed.. In this case the problem is that homosexual acts are wrong in themselves
papetee, I think the problem is the discipline of celibacy. It's un-biblical and abnormal. But, yes - the homosexual acts are sinful in themselves. Other mainstream churches (like Episcopalian & Presbyterian USA - and soon, perhaps, United Methodist) have decided that homosexuality is no longer sinful, and are paying the price of steadily diminished membership as a result.
Fritula 6 celibacy is a rule of life. It is not doctrine or dogma. The Apostles had wives. St. Paul didn't. It has been a rule of life in the Roman rite since about 1100 AD. The Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic have celibacy for monks, nuns and bishops but priest can marry. The Pope could relax the discipline of celibacy.
How is that "Do not eat meat on Friday" dogma doing? Many rules of the Church have nothing to do with Scripture and are merely traditional. If it was good enough for someone in the year 1100. it better be good for men in the 21st century. Nonsense. This rule could be changed. Oh, by the way. Whatever happened to all those babies in LIMBO.? Remember Limbo?
The Vatican IS NOT homophobic, it does not have problems with priests being homosexual. It DOES have a problem with priests who do not respect the celibacy vow, which means NO SEX. This guy had a sexual relation (hetero, gay, doesn't matter), and that's why the Vatican dismissed him. In fact, Charamsa naively reasoned like a 19th century cleric, when sex was indeed defined (by society and the Vatican) as something that exclusively occurred between a man and a woman, leaving practicing homosexual (and even practicing pedophile) priests with a clear conscience. But times have changed, even in the Vatican ...
The Vatican IS homophobic. Putting lipstick on the pig won't change that fact. Ordering people to surpress their natural sex drive is highly unnatural by the way.
Benedict XVI has said that the chastity of a gay man doesn't satisfy the celibacy requirement. Charasma has taken this argument and following it to the natural, absurd conclusion. The Vatican and the Church are murderously homophobic. Both have overseen the torture and murder of gay men for centuries.
All Catholics are expected to abstain from sexual activity before marriage. Homosexuals dont get a pass. And neither do I til I'm married. How is this homophobic at all, seriously?
The Catholic Church is changing and you cannot dictate what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms. It is not anyone's business to ask or know the details of one's sex or love life.

Catholic here.. Bible does not say that priests cannot marry. It was a practice came about around the 4th century... (Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira) This man is trying to get the sympathy of people by emphasising that he is gay, so people might 'come to gather to protect him from the evil church'. However, he has broken the promise he made to God. This is the same promise you make to your wife. Priests commit to celibacy. This is the 'policy of the employer if you like'. It has nothing to do with being gay.... Thank you!
The Catholic church is murderously hateful of gay men. It tortured and murdered them for centuries. It has never apologized for that. This priest should have renounce the Church before he got a boyfriend, but he was right to renounce the church. He was right to refuse to serve entitled bigots like you.
Nothing wrong with LGBT+, as a catholic, I support. It’s that fact that he broke the celibacy law and tried to blame it on discrimination of him being gay.
Founded by Jesus? O stoppit lool Jesus preached to believe in one god, years and YEARS after his departure is when the corruption began Thats why our creator sent forth the last and final messenger, along with the last and final revelation It will be Preserved till the end of times ❤ Deny this, then you're denying god
being gay and celibate seems to be ok being stripped in the middle of church because you are a hetero preist or a gay woman even bitter better butter baby
VoyagerPlaysGaming He broke his vow of celibacy by engaging in a sexual relationship. Even worse, he tried to hide it. Not to mention that Church law is that homosexuals may not be ordained.
VoyagerPlaysGaming he is not a good priest because he loves his own sin but serves God at the same time priests are supposed to be free of sin and preach to others how to let go of it and live for God this man is homosexual right? Well read about sodom and gohmmora it was destroyed because of the homosexuality. And the evilness you cant love God and love your sin at the same time .
I'm bisexual and that's enough for me to never want to attend a Catholic Church again. It's so weird. Even if you like Jesus, you could pick a denomination that doesn't hate you.
Whether gay or straight, taking a vow of celibacy and becoming a priest obliges you to be celibate. It’s giving up your carnal desires and devote yourself to serving God and his congregation. I refuse to take my communion from a married priest just as I refuse it from a sexually active gay priest. As Jesus said, you have one master to serve, and the moment you chose the path of becoming a priest, you should be higher than earthy needs. The vow of celibacy is sacred and it applies to all sexual relations regardless.
Except when it involves little boys then you're all hush hush and there's no accountability. Victims are treated as evil and the perpetrators are secreted away never to face justice. Really moral this faith of yours 😀

It seems he is making up his own rules for the Catholic priesthood. He broke his vows (not by his own definition...) and now claims to be the victim? He may not be a bad person, but I think he must consider his religion. Is his priestly devotion to Catholicism or the LGBT+?
it seems as though from a roman catholic point of view it is all about celibacy which means no sex because of some external factor impedes your desire. asexual means to me anyway that you just basically don't have desire. the fact is that most people have desire and find it hard to control especially in church on a sunday because religion is so sensuous and sexual
Countless bishops in Church history, both Orthodox and Catholic, plus numerous Church Councils have decreed that even a man with homosexual tendencies is NOT to be ordained because said individuals cannot effectively be priests and some homosexuals are demonically possessed. The homosexual tendency itself is intrinsically disordered and therefore such a man afflicted with this is NOT to be ordained. This priest in the video should be defrocked for two reasons: 1. He is not to be a priest and 2. he is openly violating his vow of celibacy which is grounds for defrocking.
Whether you like or not, the Vatican is and has always been a gay nest. According to the NYT the French author and journalist's book, In the closet of the Vatican, will be out in 5 days from today. According to the author, 80% of priests are gay. I think people had always known lots of priests are gay in the church but they just didn't talk about it like today.
He is not a priest. Please go away. Be gay do whatever you want but don't make excuses and blame the church. Good heavens, he has no remorse for his sins. He's rather proud of it. Please God please restore goodness and righteousness.

@@kewlestkidintheaid4647 It is not a sin to be homosexual. Some people may have inclination towards their own sex. However, if they engage in any ACTIONS of homosexual is sin. In the bible homosexual ACTIONS are condemned in the both Old and New testaments. St Paul insists that those who take part in homosexual Actions "will not inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9). As Christians, they may be well be inspired and encourage by Christ's command to "Take up your cross and follow Jesus". Their homosexual inclination is a heavy cross which Christ is asking them to bear throughout their whole life. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection. (Cathecism of Catholic Church 2359).
I know some very religious gay people. We are all sinners. I'd rather be in the company of gay people who love God than straight people who don't. Just sayin.
Now I’m not a Christian or anything so I’m not sure but I heard homosexuality is no more of a sin than any other and if the person repents, they will be saved.
So many many comments on here from people who know nothing about pedophilia, homosexuality or the church. Many many opinions but very few educated comments.
This man is miles away from the truth. He will find out one day that following his own way was not God's way. He refers to his 'spiritual boos' and points upwards (3.18). It's farcical, because clearly he is making himself his own spiritual boss, which means he is lost, UTTERLY LOST.
Before anyone starts relying on motifs such as “don’t judge others” or “the Bible is man made,” please note the fact that the Bible doesn’t support such motifs. There are more laws in the Bible besides the Ten Commandments. Leviticus condemned homosexuality. This law did not change in the New Testament (Romans 1:26-28). Therefore, anyone practicing homosexuality is clearly violating God’s law. Using either motif doesn’t apply. Stating facts is not judging others. Additionally, if a priest (or anyone else for that matter) feels that these laws in the Bible are man made, why would they allow themselves to be governed by the Bible? What it boils down to is this: People wish to “pick and choose” the parts of the Bible that they want to follow while using the Blood of Jesus to justify their willful practices of sin. Read Jude 14-15, 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10, and Matthew 7:21-23. If a person is misusing the Blood of Jesus as an excuse to practice sin, God will punish you, even if you are doing good works. So, that priest has to decide whether to uphold God’s standards or reject it all together. That said, he will not win favor of God if he willingly practices what God hates.
The Catholic Church should not be too eager to condemn gay and lesbian people when it has been fostering priests who have sexually abused parishioners and even in old days castrated choirboys to preserve their soprano voices.
Lord Have Mercy. Does he think he is the first to oppose church teaching? The church will never change because God cannot change. His mom must be so ashamed to tell all her friends and neighbors “my son works in the Vatican” and now this. So very sad. I as a Catholic would give my left arm to work in the Vatican. I remember reading the life of Cardinal Spellman. He said every time he got promoted he would tell his mom and she would always respond the same “my prayer is u always remain a good and holy priest.”
Normally this doesn't surprise me as saint has already inform us that our Catholic church will be manipulated from the inside and the devil will do anything in its power to destroy it and we can only win is by praying

However, the Catholic Church drives gay people to suicide with filth like this: "So I say to you that these are even worse than murderers, and that it would be better to die than to live in such dishonor. A murderer only separates the soul from the body, whereas these destroy the soul inside the body..... There is nothing, absolutely nothing more mad or damaging than this perversity." (St. John Chrysostom, In Epistulam ad Romanos IV). I read that filth when I was 12. I was suicidally depressed for a decade because of that. I avoided making friends out of fear that I would somehow harm them. It took me most of a lifetime to overcome abuse by my Church and my devoutly Catholic father who sent me articles saying things like AIDS is nature's way of getting rid of mistakes. He got pleasure from the fact that gay men were dying of AIDS.

Poor man, he needs prayers, he knows what he is,and also knows its wrong, so I think he’s blaming the Pope ,rather than admit it’s him whose in the wrong.
knowledge based on facts will be much more helpful tha prayers If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book.

Condemn not and you wont be condemn” it says that in luke 6:37 Its werid how most homophobic Christians ignore that rule but the are so hard with other rules Edit: just so you know im a bisexual Christian who found this out after looking up what the bible says about judging after years of being bullied at school.
Society may have changed... but God hasn't. Do not think for a second that homosexuality have been approved by the Church: Only by bad clergy members; no matter their rank. Catholics can love, help and care for homosexuals, but the Church should by NO MEAN encourage/tolerate homosexuality behaviours, period. Those who do are acting against God, and will have to answer for what they did. You, my friend, have a few options if you truly are Catholic: - Choose celibacy and fight temptation. - Realize that it is behavioural, take the time you need, and fix your perception. _(it truly is only sexual, giving the illusion of love. Trust me.)_ Prayer is also the best thing to do. _(rosary especially)_ God answers in time, when you submit to his care.
God asked Abraham if he would bear the children of many nations. He asked Mary if she would bear the son of God. But did he ask the homosexuals how they were supposed to feel love? It seems that we were forced to choose celibacy against our will just because we feel the same feelings toward the same sex. I just don’t understand why God would do this.
I feel a lot of confusion in this guy, he just pretended a status he was not supposed to have. And I don't like him at all, he has something specious in his presence and manner (and smile) that makes him disagreable at most
A difficult subject matter, yes. However, I'm reading most of these comments below. I don't understand why all of the "hateful" words towards this man. Who seems to be honest and up front about his true sexuality. As a Christian, Catholic or otherwise, no one including any Pope or religious hierarchy have the right to judge this man or anyone else. This man never even mentioned being involved in such a relationship with anyone during his service to the church. However these comments below cast many stones at this man. Especially, the one comment saying this man should basically burn for his "so called" sins. What makes these (commenting) individuals qualify for God's heavenly grace? How Hypocritical of those individuals who willingly violate the scripture themselves. Individual sexuality is not the underlying problem with any organized religion. The underlying true evil is hypocrisy and hierarchy corruption. Question, why are the Archangels mostly depicted in androgynous mortal form? Answer, all angels are depicted in the image of God, both masculine and feminine (unisex). Be silent and open your closed mind to those that are different.
First, DON'T NORMALIZE INNAPROPIATE THINGS. Second, is that what God wants? OF COURSE NOT. Third, We (of course including you) are in the image of God, IN THE IMAGE. SODOM GOMORAH IS AN EXAMPLE, learn from this
@@danietripv Your response to my comment is most judgmental. 1) What exactly is inappropriate to you, be specific? 2) How would you personally know what God wants? Do you have divine access to information no one else seems to have? I think not! 3) The biblical scripture states: God made mankind in the image of "us" (plural) male and female (masculine/feminine). The Kabbalah text states that the sun represents masculine and the moon represents feminine. Furthermore Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for rape, murder, corruption and anarchy, not specifically sexuality. Learn for yourself.
God has deemed that it is man and woman. The church follows His doctrine. It's not man and man, not woman and woman, but MAN & WOMAN. I am so tired of this nonsense being thrusted down our throats. God gave you free will, but if you chose to live in the wrong light, it is on you. I'll pray for conversion of heart to God' law, but I'm tired of this. This world is too quick on writing the Creator out of everything, then pouting when called out morally on it. Wake up! You make excuses to validate your own moral decadence - your soul is in danger.
Scripture never says that it must be a man and a woman, scripture is unambiguously supportive of celibacy and makes no qualms about acknowledging other non-traditional marriages.
When will people understands it is not about who we are. It is not about what kind of gender you preferred. It is about what you do and how you present yourself to the society and to the people you are serving.
Oh....and here I was thinking that chastity meant no sexuality of any kind......for anyone....heterosexual or homosexual. I am reminded that he - as a homosexual - is a protected minority and is allowed to bend the rules as much as he wants and play the long-suffering victim when people call him on his intellectual and moral dishonesty....silly heterosexual me.
whether the Church is homophobic or not (and, unfortunately, it often is) is irrelevant here. Priests are forbidden from being in romantic or sexual relationships of any kind. they're called to celibacy
The Church does its best to force gays to be celibate whether of not they are priests and whether or not they are Catholic. It then demands that they be subject to discrimination whether or not they are chaste. The Church is shit and should have no excuses made for it.

Norlito Concepcion
Because the church and the misguided faithful (Society as a whole) teach these people that who they are is wrong. It teaches them that to exist in a world of hate many must hide. Some choose to lead a life, marry and pretend to be straight. Many enter the Seminary and become priests. It must be horrible having to lie to yourself and others about who you are. If being born with black hair was considered a sin, people would shave their head bald or dye it blond. Unfortunately sooner or later their true being will appear. The color of our hair like our sexuality is who we were born to be. Stupid people just don't get that.
It was a way for homosexual persons to pursue a life as a Roman Catholic, now that homosexuality has become more acceptable there are less vocations to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Presumably many young men entering the Roman Catholic seminaries did not know that the Roman Catholic were a hot bed for homosexual predation as has been exemplified perfectly by the predation of seminarians by at least two Roman Catholic Cardinals US Theodore "call me Uncle Ted" McCarrick and Scotland Keith O'Brien

Funny you say that, considering that that’s from the book of Leviticus and many of those rules have been disregarded, such as foods that are “unclean” and the disabled not being able to go to the altar
Great solution for gay priests suppressing their orientation: Don't ordain gay men. Don't lie about your sexuality if you want to be a priest - if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be.
Gay men are still living, breathing parts of the Church, it is no less so just because gay men can't be priests. Orthodoxy isn't there to bully or unjustly exclude people, it's there to keep the Church holy, and orthodoxy should be close to the heart of every Catholic Christian.

@@Italtopcop This!!^^^^^^^^^
@@roseacker8956 Sorry Rose. Not sure what you meant by this.
Actually, nowhere in the Bible does it say Priests should be celibate. All the Jewish priests were married and of the Levi Tribe. This is just a silly rule the early Church created. Also, Bible scholars (which sure aren't commenting here) have shown that the anti-gay remarks in the Bible were all directed at temple prostitution, where you could go to a temple and pay to have sex with a male, if you were a male. This allowed you to achieve some sort of bizarre oneness with the pagan god, since they also believed that the Priest became the god in the ritual just like the Eucharist Priest becomes Jesus. There was no such thing as a gay sexual orientation then in the Biblical mind. They could not conceive of it. They were talking about men who have sex with men in the temple of BAAL. This was the only acknowledged homosexuality that existed then in the Biblical mind. So now you are applying it 21 centuries later to 2 men who deeply love each other? Ludicrous. The Vatican will change since their doctrine is based on interpretation of Scripture that totally ignores Bible scholarship in universities today.

OK, but celibacy is not a dogma, is a simple "discipline" of the Church, so it can be changed.. In this case the problem is that homosexual acts are wrong in themselves
papetee Amen! LEV.18,CORINTHIANS 6,ROMANS1,GENESIS1
papetee, I think the problem is the discipline of celibacy. It's un-biblical and abnormal. But, yes - the homosexual acts are sinful in themselves.
Other mainstream churches (like Episcopalian & Presbyterian USA - and soon, perhaps, United Methodist) have decided that homosexuality is no longer sinful, and are paying the price of steadily diminished membership as a result.
Fritula 6 celibacy is a rule of life. It is not doctrine or dogma. The Apostles had wives. St. Paul didn't. It has been a rule of life in the Roman rite since about 1100 AD. The Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic have celibacy for monks, nuns and bishops but priest can marry. The Pope could relax the discipline of celibacy.
How is that "Do not eat meat on Friday" dogma doing? Many rules of the Church have nothing to do with Scripture and are merely traditional. If it was good enough for someone in the year 1100. it better be good for men in the 21st century. Nonsense. This rule could be changed. Oh, by the way. Whatever happened to all those babies in LIMBO.? Remember Limbo?
The Vatican IS NOT homophobic, it does not have problems with priests being homosexual. It DOES have a problem with priests who do not respect the celibacy vow, which means NO SEX. This guy had a sexual relation (hetero, gay, doesn't matter), and that's why the Vatican dismissed him. In fact, Charamsa naively reasoned like a 19th century cleric, when sex was indeed defined (by society and the Vatican) as something that exclusively occurred between a man and a woman, leaving practicing homosexual (and even practicing pedophile) priests with a clear conscience. But times have changed, even in the Vatican ...

Whether gay or straight, taking a vow of celibacy and becoming a priest obliges you to be celibate. It’s giving up your carnal desires and devote yourself to serving God and his congregation. I refuse to take my communion from a married priest just as I refuse it from a sexually active gay priest. As Jesus said, you have one master to serve, and the moment you chose the path of becoming a priest, you should be higher than earthy needs. The vow of celibacy is sacred and it applies to all sexual relations regardless.

It seems he is making up his own rules for the Catholic priesthood. He broke his vows (not by his own definition...) and now claims to be the victim? He may not be a bad person, but I think he must consider his religion. Is his priestly devotion to Catholicism or the LGBT+?
A priest can technically be "homosexual" as long as they are celibate and don't have those homosexual tendencies in the seminary.
Truth
In this case a priest won't be gay or straight. He would be practically asexual.
it seems as though from a roman catholic point of view it is all about celibacy which means no sex because of some external factor impedes your desire. asexual means to me anyway that you just basically don't have desire. the fact is that most people have desire and find it hard to control especially in church on a sunday because religion is so sensuous and sexual
Homosexuals, celibate or not, should never be ordained.
Countless bishops in Church history, both Orthodox and Catholic, plus numerous Church Councils have decreed that even a man with homosexual tendencies is NOT to be ordained because said individuals cannot effectively be priests and some homosexuals are demonically possessed. The homosexual tendency itself is intrinsically disordered and therefore such a man afflicted with this is NOT to be ordained. This priest in the video should be defrocked for two reasons: 1. He is not to be a priest and 2. he is openly violating his vow of celibacy which is grounds for defrocking.

Whether you like or not, the Vatican is and has always been a gay nest. According to the NYT the French author and journalist's book, In the closet of the Vatican, will be out in 5 days from today. According to the author, 80% of priests are gay. I think people had always known lots of priests are gay in the church but they just didn't talk about it like today.
He is not a priest. Please go away. Be gay do whatever you want but don't make excuses and blame the church. Good heavens, he has no remorse for his sins. He's rather proud of it. Please God please restore goodness and righteousness.

@@kewlestkidintheaid4647 It is not a sin to be homosexual. Some people may have inclination towards their own sex. However, if they engage in any ACTIONS of homosexual is sin. In the bible homosexual ACTIONS are condemned in the both Old and New testaments. St Paul insists that those who take part in homosexual Actions "will not inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9). As Christians, they may be well be inspired and encourage by Christ's command to "Take up your cross and follow Jesus". Their homosexual inclination is a heavy cross which Christ is asking them to bear throughout their whole life. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection. (Cathecism of Catholic Church 2359).
I know some very religious gay people. We are all sinners. I'd rather be in the company of gay people who love God than straight people who don't. Just sayin.
PopeEdward It's what you do, not who you're attracted to. I'm straight but abstinent for God, the same is best for same sex attracted people.
Um, the vow of chastity means no sex at all. Not with anyone and not with yourself. The problem is with celibacy, not gays.

Now I’m not a Christian or anything so I’m not sure but I heard homosexuality is no more of a sin than any other and if the person repents, they will be saved.
Jesus came into the world to save it not condemn it, you are 100% correct
This is unacceptable , ban gay rights totally.

So many many comments on here from people who know nothing about pedophilia, homosexuality or the church. Many many opinions but very few educated comments.
This man is miles away from the truth. He will find out one day that following his own way was not God's way. He refers to his 'spiritual boos' and points upwards (3.18). It's farcical, because clearly he is making himself his own spiritual boss, which means he is lost, UTTERLY LOST.

cel·i·ba·cy
/ˈseləbəsē/
noun
the state of abstaining from marriage and sexual relations.
Before anyone starts relying on motifs such as “don’t judge others” or “the Bible is man made,” please note the fact that the Bible doesn’t support such motifs.
There are more laws in the Bible besides the Ten Commandments. Leviticus condemned homosexuality. This law did not change in the New Testament (Romans 1:26-28).
Therefore, anyone practicing homosexuality is clearly violating God’s law. Using either motif doesn’t apply. Stating facts is not judging others.
Additionally, if a priest (or anyone else for that matter) feels that these laws in the Bible are man made, why would they allow themselves to be governed by the Bible?
What it boils down to is this: People wish to “pick and choose” the parts of the Bible that they want to follow while using the Blood of Jesus to justify their willful practices of sin.
Read Jude 14-15, 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10, and Matthew 7:21-23. If a person is misusing the Blood of Jesus as an excuse to practice sin, God will punish you, even if you are doing good works.
So, that priest has to decide whether to uphold God’s standards or reject it all together. That said, he will not win favor of God if he willingly practices what God hates.
The Catholic Church should not be too eager to condemn gay and lesbian people when it has been fostering priests who have sexually abused parishioners and even in old days castrated choirboys to preserve their soprano voices.
I hope you do not forget Your vow of obedience, humility and selfless for Jesus.
The Church isn't God. He's doing what he should by leaving it and telling all other gay people to leave it.

The church will never change because God cannot change. His mom must be so ashamed to tell all her friends and neighbors “my son works in the Vatican” and now this. So very sad. I as a Catholic would give my left arm to work in the Vatican.

@@PInk77W1 Would you please provide a link? BTW, I have been chaste since 1984 after an oath to God to avoid contracting or transmitting HIV (then called HTLVIII). Most of my friends are gay, but I do have straight friends who are married fathers. I respect their vocations with all my heart and soul. However, the Catholic Church drives gay people to suicide with filth like this: "So I say to you that these are even worse than murderers, and that it would be better to die than to live in such dishonor. A murderer only separates the soul from the body, whereas these destroy the soul inside the body..... There is nothing, absolutely nothing more mad or damaging than this perversity." (St. John Chrysostom, In Epistulam ad Romanos IV). I read that filth when I was 12. I was suicidally depressed for a decade because of that. I avoided making friends out of fear that I would somehow harm them. It took me most of a lifetime to overcome abuse by my Church and my devoutly Catholic father who sent me articles saying things like AIDS is nature's way of getting rid of mistakes. He got pleasure from the fact that gay men were dying of AIDS. I had already taken my oath by then so being gay meant studying epidemiology to help AIDS research and volunteering at an AIDS ward Cardinal Spellman Hospital in New York. But my father the good Catholic though of all this death as entertainment for him.

Валентин Valentin I love all of my gay brothers and sisters, but I do not condone gay marriage because God did not intend for marriage to be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
Our lady said this would happen. The holy church would be infiltrated by the devil. Pray and ask jesus for forgivness. God made man and gave him to much freedom to do what he wanted.
If this was a heterosexual relationship he would have been treated the same way, which is he would have most likely been removed from priesthood.
Poor man, he needs prayers, he knows what he is,and also knows its wrong, so I think he’s blaming the Pope ,rather than admit it’s him whose in the wrong.
He knows your religion is murderously hateful and evil.
knowledge based on facts will be much more helpful tha prayers If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace

The Catholic Church says a lot of things that never appear in scripture, this is just another.

Do not think for a second that homosexuality have been approved by the Church: Only by bad clergy members; no matter their rank.
Catholics can love, help and care for homosexuals, but the Church should by NO MEAN encourage/tolerate homosexuality behaviours, period.
Those who do are acting against God, and will have to answer for what they did.
You, my friend, have a few options if you truly are Catholic:
- Choose celibacy and fight temptation.
- Realize that it is behavioural, take the time you need, and fix your perception. _(it truly is only sexual, giving the illusion of love. Trust me.)_
Prayer is also the best thing to do. _(rosary especially)_
God answers in time, when you submit to his care.
True we are all sinners, but those who promote sin are destined to a greater punishment than the sinner!
Repent of your sodomy or you will surely lose your soul.
God asked Abraham if he would bear the children of many nations. He asked Mary if she would bear the son of God. But did he ask the homosexuals how they were supposed to feel love? It seems that we were forced to choose celibacy against our will just because we feel the same feelings toward the same sex. I just don’t understand why God would do this.
He didn't. Philo of Alexandria did.
I feel a lot of confusion in this guy, he just pretended a status he was not supposed to have. And I don't like him at all, he has something specious in his presence and manner (and smile) that makes him disagreable at most

A difficult subject matter, yes. However, I'm reading most of these comments below. I don't understand why all of the "hateful" words towards this man. Who seems to be honest and up front about his true sexuality. As a Christian, Catholic or otherwise, no one including any Pope or religious hierarchy have the right to judge this man or anyone else. This man never even mentioned being involved in such a relationship with anyone during his service to the church. However these comments below cast many stones at this man. Especially, the one comment saying this man should basically burn for his "so called" sins. What makes these (commenting) individuals qualify for God's heavenly grace? How Hypocritical of those individuals who willingly violate the scripture themselves. Individual sexuality is not the underlying problem with any organized religion. The underlying true evil is hypocrisy and hierarchy corruption. Question, why are the Archangels mostly depicted in androgynous mortal form? Answer, all angels are depicted in the image of God, both masculine and feminine (unisex). Be silent and open your closed mind to those that are different.
First, DON'T NORMALIZE INNAPROPIATE THINGS. Second, is that what God wants? OF COURSE NOT. Third, We (of course including you) are in the image of God, IN THE IMAGE. SODOM GOMORAH IS AN EXAMPLE, learn from this
@@danietripv Your response to my comment is most judgmental. 1) What exactly is inappropriate to you, be specific? 2) How would you personally know what God wants? Do you have divine access to information no one else seems to have? I think not! 3) The biblical scripture states: God made mankind in the image of "us" (plural) male and female (masculine/feminine). The Kabbalah text states that the sun represents masculine and the moon represents feminine. Furthermore Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for rape, murder, corruption and anarchy, not specifically sexuality. Learn for yourself.
A bad example inside the chuch. Many will lose their trust in vatican church.
God has deemed that it is man and woman. The church follows His doctrine. It's not man and man, not woman and woman, but MAN & WOMAN. I am so tired of this nonsense being thrusted down our throats. God gave you free will, but if you chose to live in the wrong light, it is on you. I'll pray for conversion of heart to God' law, but I'm tired of this. This world is too quick on writing the Creator out of everything, then pouting when called out morally on it. Wake up! You make excuses to validate your own moral decadence - your soul is in danger.
Scripture never says that it must be a man and a woman, scripture is unambiguously supportive of celibacy and makes no qualms about acknowledging other non-traditional marriages.
Has he heard of celibacy? I'm straight and celibate. Mortal sin otherwise.
You can marry. His Church insists that he and I live and die alone. Your faith is evil.
