To: Knitting A Conundrum
A new Vatican document will bar from the priesthood practicing homosexuals, men whose gay tendencies are "deeply rooted," or who openly espouse a gay culture, a leading Italian newspaper reported on Friday.

I know what they're saying and so do most reasonable people but there's too much wiggle room here for me.

Rule #1: No poofters!!!

Anything less than this will be interpreted to mean that homosexuals are not ipso facto, ineligible for Holy Orders. Then it will all come down to what the defintion of "deeply rooted" means. We all know how that will be worked around- especially by people like the US episcopacy.
