- In some of St Paul's letters included in the Bible, he condemns homosexuality as 'unrighteous' and claims that men who practise homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Christians should show love and compassion to homosexuals, but that homosexuals should not engage in sexual activity. This is because most churches teach that sex should only happen within marriage, which the Church defines as being between a man and a woman.
this is essentially the official line. Be gay all you want BUT DONT HAVE SEX

It's a shame the Bible isn't a bit more clear on not messing about with children. The priesthood seems a bit confused about that one.
