They have been doing it throughout their entire closeted lives. They will never reveal who it was that “turned” them either in the seminary or before they entered the seminary.
I appreciate your thoughts on this. It never occurred to me that priests are home alone on the holidays. I will at least be better at sending Christmas cards at least.
But you know what? Single lay people have the same sorts of problems. I know of women who longed to marry and have children. Didn't happen for whatever reason. One was extremely upset when she learned that our gay Lutheran pastor was not chaste; She thought she had a comrade. Nope. So it aint just priests who suffer and priests who are corrupt. Maybe that is why Jesus instructed people to give their money to the poor. Bored clergy with $$$ leads to trouble. The bishops seem to take shameless high living at the expense of working stiffs to a new level.
I am a single childless one also. After a certain age, women become invisible. My aim is become a crazy church lady but I ain't there yet.,
If you are home alone and lived near me in PA, you would be welcomed for dinner. When I was on active duty, I would often have people over for dinner 2-3 times a week. By the way, except in Evangelical Protestant churches , it seems that most clergy today are gays and lesbians, and most are not chaste like the Lutheran pastor you mentioned. Clearly, over 85% of Roman Catholic US bishops, including the pope, are homosexuals. Read about Popes Julius III and Leo X.
I wrote about priests living alone and getting into trouble over 20 years ago in an article you can access on line by Googling: Home Aline in the Peiesthood America Gomulka
I wrote a big response and then erased it as I think I was oversharing about my personal situation.
I think what you are talking about are "emotional affairs". An emotional affair that is not physical is still infidelity, it is still a violation of chastity. Homosexual emotional affairs, even if they aren't physical, are still a violation of chastity. And emotional affairs more often than not do become physical. So it is a negative development any way you look at it.
It's been said that dogs and very young children have a heightened ability to sense the character of people. Like the white dog in the photo, which doesn't look to be all merry about the lap time.
I just wonder how it is possible for the homosexual bishops to live a life that is such a lie

The vale of tears and the narrow way.
