Word is out that the Vatican is now changing its mind on the sweeping ban on homosexuals in the priesthood or more exactly, in the seminaries (schools for priests).
The huge uproar from Catholic Men's Orders, which are probably filled with gays, has softened the Vatican's stance.
The new directive will allow homosexual priests to be ordained IF they were chaste for three (3) years. The old directive was that homosexual men could not be ordained even if they remained celibate.
This is all getting very confusing for me but imagine how confusing it must be for the Vatican and for all the priests and monks out there - one day they are to be burned at the stake and the next they are welcome - wow!
THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS ARE GAY PRIESTS PREFERABLE TO MARRIED HETEROSEXUAL PRIESTS?
I have nothing against gay priests but celibacy is abnormal for both gay and heterosexual priests and will eventually compromise the man's essential biological nature making him abnormal and therefore unqualified to guide people in their daily lives.
I will do some research on the Vatican's stand on homosexuality and see where all this is leading to.
