Valid Sacraments?	George	Tuesday, November 9, 2004
Question: Thank you for answering my previous questions. Suppose I go to a local priest for the Sacraments of Confession and Communion. If that priest is a homosexual, are the Sacraments valid? Should I avoid priests that I presume to be homosexual?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM+ Dear George: A priest who is homosexual is still a valid priest, thus the Sacraments are valid. There is no reason to avoid a homosexual priest to receive the Sacraments. Besides, it would be sinful for you to "presume" a priest is homosexual. Such presumption is at best the Grave Sin of Rash Judgment. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
