Churches are run by human beings, and thus there are fallible. Perfection lies only with God, and is not attainable on this earth.
(Though it doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying. Gracefully.)
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

If your religion states homosexuality is wrong, then it is a position of principle...
