I don't know how many of you have heard about the Vatican instruction that was issued last month concerning the ordination of Gay priests, but I wanted to give the Catholic point of view on the document.
The document says that men with a homosexual orientation may be ordained only if they have been able to supress their desires for a minimum of three years. Thusly, it does not disallow any homosexual men from being ordained per se, although Gay priests are (and will be) in the extreme minority. The news media curtailed the document as soon as it came out, all the while missing the real point of the argument, namely that only those who have problems with the cross of homosexuality are prevented from being ordained. For the media, "feeling like" doing something means that you must do it.
But anyhow, I want to hear your thoughts on this.
