It also encourages greater attention to homosexual orientation and the priesthood, and asks if there are valid ways to screen priests for sexual orientation. The editorial also says that "evidence now seems to indicate that (homosexuality) is a genetically inherited condition."

I don't know WHO wrote the editorial, but there is no such evidence that homosexuality is inherited. And there is a way to screen for sexual orientation. It is called being watchful and aware while the men are in the Seminary. These men are in community for several years while preparing for the priesthood, and it becomes common knowledge who's doing what during that time. There have been complaints about homosexual activity on the part of seminarians, but the liberal committees disregard the complaints, or worse, run off the person doing the complaining.

Celibacy is NOT the problem; it is a great gift. It is obvious that these perverts are NOT and never had any intention of being celibate. Their inability to live up to their vows should not besmirch those men who have been able to do so.

How would they know that homosexuality is 'inherited,' since homosexuals generally do not have children? I've love to see some data on this IF such data exists.
