"by encouraging homosexuals into the priesthood through the celibacy rule."
THere is no evidence to suggest that the priesthood encourages homosexuality, or that there is a greater or lesser percentage of homosexuals inside the church as there are outside.
"it does not mean they do not enjoy homosexual sex."
Nor does it mean they are either gay or straight - it means they took advantage of what was at hand to fulfill a basic need
The same applies to sailors (or even sheep-farmers on isolated farms, if you wish ro reduce it to its most basic)
If you ever feel like going to Wormwood Scrubs and telling all those who indulge in same-sex gratification, that they are gay, please let me know well in advance so I can get tickets - wouldn't miss it for the world!
