Hypocrites and dopes
Well the saintly and compassionate Catholic Church has shamed it self again. Publishing their statement on banning those with “deep seated” gay tendencies from the priesthood, the document would also ban supporters of gay culture from entering the priesthood while saying that men who have "overcome" their homosexuality for at least three years would be accepted as priests.
So apparently the gays we already have in the priesthood are acceptable, but we don't want any new ones? Does “overcoming” their homosexuality mean the seminarians weren't caught in a homosexual act? Does it mean they have people vouch for them? Does it mean they swear on the Bible that no sinning occurred? What body of data came up with the three year time period? Who came up with this lunacy?
They just keep driving people away by appealing to an increasingly narrow and rigid base. Whatever happened to inclusion and respect for human dignity?
