    they have been doing it for ages, even if you don't like it. How would you know someone is gay, if they don't tell you ?

    It depends on what that particular church allows.

    I thought this topic should be in the religious forum. Why is it here?

    It will never happen at my church and if due to some ACLU lawsuit it did I would pray at home.

    It's just plain wrong, period.
    I don't see why anyone would even need to ask.

    It's not really a matter of opinion.  If it's against church policy, they should find a different church.

    You have to practice to become officially homosexual? Wow, it's more complex than I thought...I don't know about this one, need to call up the Catholic Church and get a hold of an altar boy..

    When will they stop practicing to be gay or lesbian and start doing it for real?

    I don't know, does it take a lot of schooling?

    Although doctors get accredited, but everything they do is still "practice.."

    It's fine. My mom was a sacristan and sexton and knew of one or three, hehe. There are plenty o' gays conducting your masses as there are straight priests. ;D
