BBC ArticleReminds me of the segregation of the "Jews" and "Aryans" prior to and during the Second World War...

I don't get it. Are they saying they'll allow gays in or what?... This whole thing is so wrong...    Why can't they just make up their minds already?! |

In a nut-shell, yes; clergy men in certain countries/ states believe that homosexual men should not belong within the hierarchy of the church. Well, I feel that this will always remain a key issue within religion; modern tolerance/acceptence over ancient traditions. I feel that the traditions will always win, due to the longevity of the groups themselves; i.e., the followers want continuity with previous generations, and if that entails discrimination against different groups of people, then they'll do just that. |

My apologies, but when you've gone your whole life bing told something is not just bad, but sick, wrong, and evil, you tend to be a little prejudiced. I believe in the love the sinner, not the sin, but I still have trouble getting along with homosexuals, witches, abortionists, etc. Although I have a more personal reason against the witches. I'm not surprised that they're staying segregated, I just can't believe they'd allow it period. Very few do.

I'm not opposed to homosexuals being in the church & part of the church family, but being in the hierarchy just wouldn't make sense. I'm not saying all pastors, clergy, etc. are perfect but it's stated that it's a sin so it completely rules out hierarchy. & btw yes, segregation is just wrong |

I dont see why it matters. As long as he keeps his hands off the alterboys, I dont care what my priest does behind bedroom doors. Being devided because of this topic will just end up breeding resentment from both sides.

As long as there is a difference in people and beliefs, there will be prejudice, racism, and segregation in some form or way. I don't think its possible for the "world to decide where it needs to go" because no one would agree with each other  |

That's decided by the individual, not the "all powerful state" |
