The Catholic Church has never taught or condoned the behavior that others condemn it for. In fact, the Catholic Church condemns those sins whether they are committed by its own members or those outside the Church. However, even though the Church condemns the sin (or the behavior) it does not condemn people. The Catholic Church invites sinners into the Church because it is like a hospital for sick people and sin is a disease that infects all human people. If we expected the Catholic Church to “clean house” and get rid of all the sinners then all its members would be kicked out – including the Pope.
