You're stretching the "bride" metaphor to an absurd and, frankly, perverse extreme. Forgive the bluntness, but Christ does not have marital relations with the Church. This "marriage" is not a sexual but a spiritual one.

This sort of linguistic tap dance is symptomatic of the duplicitous way some in the Church deal with the language of Scripture and Tradition. They're fine with symbol and metaphor when it suits them but can turn on a dime when it's to their advantage to interpret something literally. But when it's something as clear and forceful as Jesus' admonition to resist creating a culture of religious paternalism (Matt. 23:8-11), they write it off as hyperbole. Incredible.

This will be my last post on this thread, so respond or not as you please. I will only say, in parting, that I personally know several gay priests and they are holy and dedicated servants. I can say, without hesitation, that they are in no way impeded from "espousing" the Church as Christ does.
