If he remains celibate and defends the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality, there should be no problem. From this mornings Post Standard article: In a 1987 interview, Daley said the church's celibacy requirement contributes to the clergy shortage. "If celibacy were optional and if women could be ordained, there would be no priesthood shortage in the Catholic Church. That's my opinion," Daley said at the time.
How does he know he is gay if he is supposedly celibate?

How does he know he is gay if he is supposedly celibate? Orientation vs. practice.
