Now one of us is not understanding something here.
Your first link, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/nyregion/15carter.html?_r=1&fta=y is the obituary of a priest who died at 82. He was a gay rights activist.
Your second link, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/nyregion/31gay.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1 talks about the recruitment or not of gay priests A telling paragraph is this one:
“Whether he is celibate or not, the person who views himself as a ‘homosexual person,’ rather than as a person called to be a spiritual father — that person should not be a priest,” said Father Toups, of the bishops’ conference.
But your post says "and one way the Catholic Church has decided to deal with their sex abuse problem."
So tell me, where do you see anything whatsoever about the way the Catholic Church has decided to deal with their sex abuse problem in either of the two links you've posted?
I most certainly don't associate homosexuality with sex abuse. The articles, refreshingly, don't associate homosexuality with sex abuse. So how do you see either of the articles you've linked as ealing with sex abuse?
