How do you know who is gay and who is straight in the priesthood, if they are both celibate? Well, one thing is sure, your won't find t out by giving them psychological tests or running them by a shrink. With their presuppositions, the shrinks are more likely to weed out the straight guys. The big thing is the "IF" Maybe we tempt them with pretty women and the guys who behave normally we keep? :-).

Your facetious example proves my point. Bevilacqua will not be able to determine who is gay and who is straight.

Should a straight man, who admits a debauched life but who says he has reformed, be accepted into a seminary over a man who is effeminate but who has never been sexually active?

Seems like the church's way to find out is to ordain them.
