I also read the comment about the church needs to remove the scales from there eyes. I just want to say that If you truly believe in the ordinance of God and the trueness of the gospel, than you will know that anything is possible to those who believe and have faith. if this priest had truly believed in God's power that he would have been healed from his obsessions with homosexuality. Or maybe it is just God's plan for him and only God knows why. It is important to treat people with love and compassion, but if we truly care about someone enough to show them compassion, than we will try to teach them that homosexuality is an abomination and a sin and it is important to repent and see our sins with eyes open and ask the Lord for his forgiveness and strength to heal us from these diseases and he will grant us that much providing we have the faith. No one is perfect but we must learn from Christ's example he gave us through his sinless lifestyle and strive for perfection everyday and do what we know is right according to the gospel. Godspeed and God bless! I read your article of the priests who struggled with there problem.

I agree that the church has developed into an entity that strays from what it is to truly be a follower/pursuer of Christ. They are not to be discounted for the message of hope, love and salvation that is taught. However, the processes, regulations and formality of religion must be reconciled.
