If homosexuality is immoral and wrong, then why does....?
The Pope wear a dress? Isn't that a type of cross-dressing?
Not saying that the pope should ever be listened to or given recognition in any way, but more along the lines of the fact that the Catholic Church discriminates against homosexuals a lot.
Also, I'm not talking about sexual things.. They criticize homosexuals regardless and that means the Pope is a cross-dresser. robe-dress. same thing.

Sexual Orientation isn't learned , taught, or caught... it is instilled at birth, as natural as the color of your hair...The Bible was written by man, to control mankind, through Hate, Fear, and Vague Spooky language.. no author of the book of life, would write it in such babbling, that it could be interpreted differently by each person that tried to decipher it... instead, it would be crystal clear to all, and there would be no need for a New Testament, as why would there be a need to be a New and Improved version, wouldn't the all knowing, have gotten it perfectly right the first time?
Homosexuality is normal, but taught by evil religion that it's evil... when the funny thing is, the most evil force on the planet is organized religion.

First off, the catholic church does not discriminate against homosexuals. Let me quote straight from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
2358 - The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 - Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
As for the pope, he doesn't wear a dress, he wears a simple robe called a cassock and a simple cap called a zucchetto in ordinary life. And for special occasions, such as when he celebrates Mass, he wears a formal robe called a chasuble and a formal headdress called a miter. These clothes signify his status as Christ's Vicar and honor the occasions on which he wears them, much as our clothing signifies our state in life and honors the occasions on which we wear them.

State your premise to a medieval scotsman and the other skirt wearing folk. I hope you can run fast.

Robes and dresses aren't the same thing. Oh, and please be aware that only 1% of priests committed those horrible acts.

Molly,
Some day when you are out of your teens you will understand the wearing of tradition garb and sexual choices are not correlated.

A question based on a false assumption has no rational answer. (Think about what that means, then re-evaluate your question.)
