Yet many of them have sex with little boys? Do they think this is what God wanted? If so then why do they think that two people of the same sex who love (not lust) each other shouldn't be married. Once again, I'm really confused about these religious morals.

because they are ignorent fools. They will say a bunch of crap that has absolutly nothing to do with their relgion, they just say it does.
They say how gay people should burn in hell and they are dirty sick sinners, but they're the ones going after little boys. Someone should do something to stop these people, the alter boys aren't safe with preists running around

First of all Catholic Priest are human being. They sin just like everybody else. Secondly, Priest that have molested young boy's are far and few, it very rarely happens. The few rare cases that have been publicized, give some people, they think an excuse to attack the Catholic Church or to even justify the wrong that they are doing. The majority of Priest are very holy and honest persons that give up a great deal to help others. They even give up sex and the rite of holy matrimony. God did not make any mistakes. If he created you a woman or man, that's precisely what he intended for you to be. There is no changing that. It was his plan, and if he intended for it to be any different he would have given us the power to create ourselves. We should be grateful for the way he created us. After all, he did not have to create us at all. If we have a desire to change anything that God has created into the way we want it, then we are playing God. I believe there might be a penalty for that. Be ware! There is such a thing as the wrath of God. You are rationalizing and that is so unfair.

A priest is human with sinful nature just like all of us, they are not perfect only Jesus was. A sin is a sin whether it seems bigger than another or not. The message that the bible teaches is that we all fall short and are in need of a savior. Jesus is the Truth the Life and the Way. He came in order to save us from our sinful nature not to condemn us. Pedophiles seek out jobs where they can get close to children this is why some become a priest because its a good front for them. They need the to be saved just like all of us. When you look into a church think of it as a hospital where sick people go for help. Find one that Loves unconditionally. And remember, the Lord knows you better than anyone He knows why you feel the way you do. Begin by just receiving Him as your Savior and He will guide your life. CHRIST LOVES YOU

+ Homosexuality +
Christianity, and Judaism before it, has believed that homosexual activity is against God's eternal natural and moral law.
Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.
The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm
+ Marriage +
The Catholic Church believes that God himself is the author of marriage and has created it for one man and one woman.
+ Molestation by Priests +
Child molestation by a few sick or evil priests is, of course, wrong and not what God wants.
The large majority of the over 400,000 priests in the world are just as shocked and angered as you and I are.
According to mental health professionals, pedophilia is not connected homosexuality.

Religious and morality aren't the same thing. I don't think people who believe in God or very religious is the one who have high morality. Otherwise we will have a very peaceful and a hateful world.
