jOhn, there might be two questions here.

1. Should homosexuality be tolerated in the clergy, which Keith A's post would aptly answer, and

2. Should paedophilia be tolerated in the clergy, where I suspect you are leaning on an open door.

I'm told the use of the P word by non-adherents is about as popular in the gay community as the N word in race relations, and you are to be congratulated on publicly stating your anti-racist standing.
