I guess I’m a little confused. Don’t priests live a celebrate life? I don’t know how you could have “heterosexual” or “homosexual” priests. If so then I would think they would just like to be known as priests.

I think there are long term errors in making such distinctions. By making these distinctions it looks like a slippery slope to priesthood marriage where then you'll get into the "heterosexual"/"homosexual" issue.

"I don’t know how you could have “heterosexual” or “homosexual” priests."

Both these states begin with internal events--desires--that precede and have existence independently of actions.

A priest who is attracted to women and not men is heterosexual--that is, normal--even if he is celibate.

A (wrongly ordained) priest who is attracted to men is suffering from SSAD, even if he defied all odds and became the world's first celibate SSAD sufferer.
