And bishops are not going to kick a priest out of the priesthood just because he's light in the loafers

Another issue is how are you going to weed them out? Do we disqualify men for being snappy dressers, watching the Oscars, liking show-tunes, or even being able to cook? There is no good "gay test".

The only thing to do is if they are caught in the act, to give them a boot.

Of course there's not. And there are not an insignificant number of celibate homosexuals in the priesthood today; there always has been.
