It isn't "fashionable." It's an orientation. One does not take it on and off like clothing. His lack of understand makes me wonder if, perhaps, he believes the pedophilia problem is related to being gay. I'm not sure how else to take the statement about it influencing the life of the church but think he means it influences the life of the church in a negative way. Why else would it be a concern if he didn't perceive it negatively?
