Yes, that's a very important issue and question there (that it's assumed and proven, even, that homosexuals will lie about their affiliation/s inorder to gain entry to the seminaries and later even during and after they falsely engage in religious vows).

There is no way someone who identifies as a homosexual, whether celibate or not (the issue here is chastity and lack of it), can morally be in respect and observance of the religious vows of the priesthood.

Which is why those in the priesthood at this present time (and including future applicants) do not belong there. They are dishonoring the vows that they say they represent. It's moral failure, it's ethical failure and it's surely failure before Christ.

Rome disagrees with you. There is ZERO chance that Benedict XVI is going to start suspending celibate homosexual priests.

None.
