Me too...it IS kind of confusing...the point I was trying to make was: is the question never asked of the prospective priest as to what his sexual persuasion may be. It occurs to me that the preisthood, with its access to young boys, would be kind of a magnet for a homosexual that leans toward pediofilia.

It would only make sense to me that "are you a homosexual" would be one of the questions that would be asked before any man is called to be a priest. I am not a Catholic, therefore know nothing about how a priest is made, but is there not some screening process, or background check for these guys?

You're getting very specific.

The OCA, as an example have a two adult rule whenever adults are supervising children. 2 adults need be present.

That's all I was asking.
