This is bigotry plain and simple. It’s the ‘gayness’ the church has a problem with.
Saying 'If he had sex, he's immoral and should resign as priest and the religious order' is consciously or unconsciously issuing a homophobic attack because it was Grindr for gay sex with a man. If it was a man that had sex with an adult woman, no one would care, The Pillar wouldn't have publicized the data findings, this wouldn't be an article on arstechnica, and you wouldn't care either. Also Priesthood isn't a job you leave. It isn't a job, it's for life. There nothing to go to after.
It would be like saying ‘if you smoke pot, you are “actively engaged in behaviors that are abhorrent to the“… country because it’s listed as a Schedule I substance, federally banned, so you should leave and go to another country. No I won’t. Will stay here smoke my pot, thumb my nose at you and change the laws. And we did, we’ll change the church too.
