re: #308 Spare O’Lake

What you say is logical, yet it reminds me of the arguments against profiling of young, Muslim, Arab, single, one-way-ticketed, luggageless, males at airports.
If statistics show that homosexual clergy are disproportionately likely to offend, then there is a logical argument to be made - not for excluding them from the clergy, but rather to profile them for further investigation to see if they exhibit other known risk factors, etc.

No, my point is that statistics have shown that homosexual orientation is not a known risk factor, thus profiling them is ineffective.
