Now we get to work on some of the jammed "windows" Pope John XXIII left open.

This is a NEW rule? There was an advisory previously. If this turns into more than that, yes, it is new.

I don't think any of the gay priests out there did any advertising upon entering the seminary. It's good the Pope is saying that it's no longer ok to look the other way when it comes to this.

This is a NEW rule? No. Not even close. But, there will be no more looking the other way.

Amen. This will go a long way toward eradicating future sexual abuse scandals by priests. Liberals don't like to face this, but the vast majority of the abusive priests did NOT fit the definition of "pedophile." Pedophilia involves "pre-pubescent" children - most of the boys who were victims did NOT fit that description.
This blight on the history of The Church was caused by homosexuals who took advantage of their positions of authority to lure and abuse adolescent and young men. Sickening, and I praise the Lord for this demonstration of courage on the part of His Holiness, our new Pope.
