Nice. Makes plenty of sense. Go form your own 2% of the populace church.

"Pope bans homosexuals...."


Gee, ya think this maybe shouldn't even have to be an issue anymore.


Next thing you know they are going to ban pedophilia too.

Yet another thing they shouldn't even HAVE to address.

Surprising he had to literaly state that. You would think the religion already assumed that before becoming a Priest.

It's good to see a little common sense and moral clarity in the Church leadership......

Pope Benedict XVI has given his approval to a new Vatican policy document indicating that men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained as Catholic priests...

Better late than never!

. . . that policy was widely ignored, particularly in North America.

There was a lot of that going around.

"Pope Benedict XVI has given his approval to a new Vatican policy document indicating that men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained as Catholic priests, reports Catholic World News."

So is he also going to expel the thousands that have already been ordained?

Good start. Now to go back and find the hetero's who were hounded out of the seminaries over the years.

I seem to remember Pope Pius XII having done the same thing. So which bishops keep ordaining these faggots?

The Catholic Church allowed gays to become priests back in the liberal 1970's and paid a devastating price 20-30 years later. Well that era is all over.

.

God's Rottweiler (Pope Benedict 6th) did exactly what was needed.

This doesn't make much sense to me. Priests take a vow of chastity/abstenance. So it doesn't really matter which sex he is sexually attracted to, it's supposed to be hands-off.

Well I'm no Catholic. But even so, this old boy continues to improve his ranking on the list of people I respect.

Kudos Benedict !!
