With a wink.
If it helps you in your own personal Faith to believe that the Catholic method of recruiting clergy "with a wink" allows homosexuals to become Priests, then, I won't deprive you of your right to your opinion, regardless of whether your opinion is accurate or not.
I certainly understand why you would feel the need to do that.

While you have absolutely no way of knowing what percentage of any clergy is secretly homosexual, we do know that many Protestant sects have solved that problem by encouraging and welcoming their clergy to be openly homosexual and openly transgender.
So, while I understand how it may comfort you to ruminate on the topic of secretly homosexual clergy, the problem identified by the OP for this thread is not secretly gay Priests but rather Openly Transgender Protestant Pastors.
The Catholic Church tries to exclude homosexuals and transgendereds from becoming clergy. That's a fact. But, what can we do about a Christian sect that openly allows homosexual and transgenered clergy? I don't think that anybody is doing anything about that.
Do you have any opinion on how this problem could be solved or even addressed? That's what the thread is about.

This Pastor does appear to be sincere, but, his church leadership should encourage him to bear the burden of his mental confusion and continue in his ministry in the body that God gave him.

I think that's an incredibly important point for this specific instance. You can't preach the perfectness of God while also saying "God made a mistake by putting me in the wrong body."

A homosexual will have to lie during his or her interview in order to be admitted to the clergy or "nun-hood". During the interview, it is made clear that those with bi-sexual or homosexual proclivities are not allowed.
The Vatican's official stance is you can be gay as long as celibate.

I don’t think we can do anything about it but whine about it on an anonymous message board for LSU fans.

Well “God” did make a mistake when he put a tempting fruit of the tree of knowledge in the middle of Paradise with no fence or force field around it and put a pair of humans next to it with no knowledge of right and wrong and expected them not to eat it.
And he did allow the sons of God to come to earth and rape the human wine and create a race of bloodthirsty giants who are responsible for the evil in the world today. And God did repent after destroying the all and all people except one family using the heavenly ocean to drown them.
And then God regretted choosing the Israelites and was about to murder them all before Moses talked him out of it.
And God did regret naming Saul king.
I could go on, but suffice it to say, your God isn’t perfect and the Bible is the perfect evidence for that assertion.

Interestingly enough, Paul preached celibacy to all Christians, as they were in the last hours, and the LORD was near, and he was going to swoop in like a thief in the night and destroy and remake Heaven and earth and give everyone new spirit bodies. Sinful flesh and the desires of flesh according to Paul was impure. He expressed a desire for no one to get married or have sex anymore. No need for children when the world was about to end anyway.

Since you admit that we can't do anything about it, then, there's really no constructive reason for you to post anything further in this thread.

I do like how quickly you knew exactly what Jehovah's Witness beliefs were so you could point out the exact part of your many posts that they would "disagree with"
I doubt any other person here could link those two things together.
