Here's a link to the article being referred to:
No ban on gays expected in Vatican document; will advise 'prudential judgement'
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1498416/posts
It's pretty clear in the article what the writer means - that even if a man has homosexual attractions or previous behaviors, as long as he's been chaste for 3 years he can be a priest. But - fortunately - it looks as though it's only a rumor! If you read the other article it'll all be clear, and you'll be happy like me and others on this thread!
It's all becoming quite clear. Thanks for the link.
