That's why I said if and when...I'm not a theologian. As far as the gay celibate issue, I think the religious vocation to that individual, carrying the Cross of that particular disorder, would be the brotherhood, not the priesthood...it comes down to finding the ordo for the individual. I don't think gays belong in the priesthood at all but I don't expect this to really change for at least a century.

What an odd thing to say. What if the celibate gay doesn't feel called to the brotherhood, but to the priesthood? Or is it just the thought of a celibate gay getting his hands on the Eucharist that bothers you? You think it bothers the Lord that much?
