They are asking all men who are thinking about the seminary that if they have some idea about homosexual orientation, that before they are allowed to enter the diaconate, which is before they get to the priesthood, that they have gone three years without that problem.

Not practice.

Inclination.

Sometimes boys get a bit confused. This is to let those who honestly got confused about this as teens to get time to have their normal adult interests kick in.

If you practice, if you consider yourself gay, if you feel part of the gay culture, you are not wanted, no matter how long it's been since you've been celibate.

It's not saying if you are homosexual, if you can go three years without having sex you can get into the diaconate.

Thnaks for the clarification.

I should know better than to get my information from articles linked from the Drudge Report. Nothing against Matt Drudge, but the articles that his site links you to are a bit slanted sometimes. Stupid on my part.
