A celibate homosexual is a gay man who has decided not to have sex and lives up to his decision. Same as a heterosexual celibate....who may love and desire women but gives up sex for the Faith.

Do you think priests are born celebates? Hardly. It's a sacrifice and often a huge struggle.

Your definition is circular. Homosexual and gay refer to people who choose to engage in sexually perverse behaviors. By definition they are not celibate.

hogwash! The priest is a person held to a higher example and a leader. A position of priesthood is a leadership and example position.

Homosexuals have no place as a moral example celebate or otherwise.

Besides according to the catholic faith the Pope has "infalibility" on his side. Thus catholic seminarians MUST accept this directive as part of the faith. If the homosexuals want a cafeteria faith they are free to go to the episcopal faith.
