I suppose the answer to this one is yes when you stop to think of all te priests/fathers etc that abuse young boys in their congragation. I suppose when you think of it they are also responsible for a percentage of child abusers as well.

Not sure what you mean by your question. Do you mean that the Catholic church is responsible for causing anyone to be gay? If that is what you mean, the answer is no.
But if you are asking whether the church should behave responsibly (i.e., compassionately, respectfully, and equally) toward people who are gay, the answer is yes, absolutely.

well if they are fathering children my guess they are responsible for a certain percentage of gay people in the world. If they are not fathering children I must think they are not responsible for any.

Not one bit. I cannot for the life of me see any correlation between the two. If anything it is responsible for suppressing any feeling of homosexuality.

I suppose for those that abuse others (same gender)....there is the risk that the ones that were abused could grow up and exhibit homosexual behaviors...but ultimately we have to take responsibility for our own choices...I do believe that all the chemicals, etc. (growth hormones)...that have been added to our foods for many years have added to hormones being messed up in our children...little girls are getting breast and starting their periods at 9!...little boys that are and were given soy products(high in estrogen) as a baby/boy have their hormones out of wack...There are many factors in what is going on with our children.

What would make you thinks that? Surely not because the long flowing dresses they wear, nor that pointy hat that looks like a giant tiarra?

Blaming homosexuality on the church or on anyone or anything but yourself is a copout. It's a life choice. A bad choice but a choice nonetheless and each person has to realize that a choice always has a consequence.

not even remotely...
If you're asking about this with respect to the children (usually boys) who've been molested by church officials through the ages... even then, I would still have to say...NO

Not at all. Homosexuality is something people are born with, just as some people are born heterosexual.
