I sure disagree with your post. I was abused by a priest in about 1947 when I was 6 years old. I am a female, happily married, and do not see how homosexuality has anything to do with child abuse. I have known many priests through the years, some of whom I thought may be homosexual, but it made no difference. They were kind servants of the Lord. I don’t see what a persons sexual orientation has to do with it. If a priest is celebate, what does his sexual orientation make? God Bless.
