"A headline about the new Instruction from the Vatican read, "Vatican bans active gays from priesthood." One might add that it bans active straights from the priesthood, too. Perhaps the celibacy rule will change. However, as long as it applies, those who are in sexual relationships of either sort will not be ordained. That is not new, and indeed it is not news.....
my own reanalysis of the data collected by the Los Angeles Times (in my book Priests a Calling in Crisis) shows that about a sixth of Catholic priests are gay and that two out of three of them are celibate, not greatly different from the three out of four among the straight priests..."
Gee...who woulda thought......
