How can they be gay and be a Christan/minister/pastor?
that is biblically incorrect.

1 Corinthians 6:9:

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual

Very probably. A number are probably cunning linguists in their own time.

I don't know.I don't believe that those who are homosexual should be in leadership in the church though, since what they do is condemned in the bible.

Pop benedict and Sexual crimes with minors
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,2260...
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI told Irish bishops Saturday that instances of sexual abuse committed by clergy were "egregious crimes," and urged them to urgently rebuild confidence and do whatever necessary to prevent future offenses.
In his first comments on the subject since becoming pontiff last year, Benedict said the wounds inflicted by sexual abuse "run deep." The remarks were made to bishops from Ireland where the Catholic Church has been gravely damaged by massive sex abuse scandals.
"In the exercise of your pastoral ministry, you have had to respond in recent years to many heart-rending cases of sexual abuse of minors," the pontiff said. "These are all the more tragic when the abuser is a cleric."
"The wounds caused by such acts run deep, and it is an urgent task to rebuild confidence and trust where these have been damaged," Benedict said.
The pope told the bishops that as they continue to deal with the problem, "it is important to establish the truth of what happened in the past, to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent it from occurring again, to ensure that the principles of justice are fully respected and, above all, to bring healing to the victims and to all those affected by these egregious crimes."
Child abuse-A long and evil tradition of the Vatican and gays
Contrary to catholic apologists, pr agents, and spin doctors, the Vatican has a long, well documented and evil tradition of child sexual abuse. Here are some examples.
(381 CE) That christian leaders did profane and convert the great Constantinople's Temple of Aphrodite into the largest brothel in ancient history and Temple of Artemis into stables. That this major business enterprise along with other brothels operating from former Greek temples using former female priests and their children as sex slaves provided significant income to the early christian church.

(383 CE) Sex Jerome reinforces sexual repression by preaching that "a husband commits a sin if he enjoys sex with his wife too much".

595 CE: Pope Gregory dispatched a priest to Britain to purchase "attractive" Pagan boys to "work" as slaves on church estates.

(590-604) Gregory I introduces celibacy edict to prevent property from passing from church to possible wives, families or mistresses of clergy.

(904 - 911) Pope Sergius III did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children with his daughter Marozie which he then made his mistress. That one of these children fathered by Pope Sergius III and his own daughter became Pope John X, also known as Pope John XI and also known as Pope John XII.

(964 CE) That Pope Benedict V did continue the traditions established by Pope Sergius of not only the dynastic bloodlines of the Papacy but that such future Popes should come from incest between Father (Pope) and daughter. Furthermore, that Pope Benedict V did father several children from incest with his own children.

(973 CE) That Pope Benedict VI did openly commission, participate in and observe as regular entertainment the raping, sodomization and then dismemberment of both women and children within the church walls of St. Peters.

(1316-1334) That Pope John XXII did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1334 CE) That Pope John XXII was charged by 37 clergy and witnesses of fornication, adultery, incest, sodomy, simony, theft and murder. Furthermore, that he was publicly called the devil incarnate. He has been called the most depraved criminal who ever sat on the papal throne.

(1334 - 1342 CE) That Pope Benedict XII did institute regular sodomy of children, especially young boys.

(1410 – 1415) That Pope John XXIII did follow the tradition of Popes for over four hundred years and did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1458-64) That Pope Pius II did continue the centuries old Papal tradition of not only fathering illegitimate children but of committing repeated rape and incest upon all his own children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1471-84) That Sixtus IV did continue the centuries old Papal tradition of not only fathering illegitimate children but of committing repeated rape and incest upon all his own children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1492 – 1503 CE) That Pope Alexander VI did in the ancient Papal satanic tradition commit repeated rape, incest and occasional ritualistic murder upon his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1503 – 1513) That Pope Julius II did sexually assault and sodomize Michelangelo as a child prior to his growth into a great artist and his commissions concerning the Vatican

(1523-34) That Pope Clement VII did continue the now Catholic clerical tradition of institutionalized homosexuality and sodomy of children, especially young boys.

(1550-5) That Pope Julius II did continue the now Catholic clerical tradition of institutionalized homosexuality and sodomy of children, especially young boys.

The "anti-Gay" words of the Vatican aren't worth the paper they're written on

The anti-gay rhetoric of the Catholic Church is meaningless for three very important reasons:

1. It continues to fight against just compensation for victims of pedophile priests in the courts around the world. A sign, they refuse to admit the problem, or care about making things right.

2. The Catholic Church in many countries continues to harbour pedophile priests, in some cases refusing to hand them to police, in others refusing to defrock them.

3. The Catholic Church continues to spend more time and money "spinning" the story that the idea of pedophile priests is a myth than on actually compensating real victims.
