Vatican II may have made it acceptable for admitted homosexuals to enter seminary, but the problem of homosexuals in the Roman Catholic priesthood goes back at least a thousand yearst, to Saint Peter Damian who documented the extent of the problem then in The Book Of Gomorrah.

No doubt, because Man's weakness was always there. However, until Vatican II, the Catholic Church recognized Man's weakness and worked to prevent the inevitable outcomes by denying homosexuals any legitimacy. So, the problem surely existed in the old days, but not on the scale to which it existed after the ill-advised Vatican II legitimized it. Whereas before it might have been a notable anomaly, now it is a plague.

“Vatican II may have made it acceptable for admitted homosexuals to enter seminary”

I don’t think it did.

“but the problem of homosexuals in the Roman Catholic priesthood goes back at least a thousand years”

Satan is ageless and timeless. He has been attacking God’s work for much longer than that.
