From the article: "...only those individuals who have integrated their sexual identity with all aspects of their personality and who have demonstrated a clear ability to live a celibate life are called to ordained ministry."
Hubbard said all prospective candidates for the priesthood are expected to be "prepared intellectually, emotionally and spiritually to lead a celibate life and to have demonstrated an ability to fulfill this commitment."
"Currently we require a five year period of celibate living prior to diaconal ordination — two more than the Instruction requires."
First of all, "integrated their sexuality with all aspects of their personality"
is Amchurch gobbledegook and good old fashioned psychobabble.
These words have also been used to justify admission of homosexual men to seminaries all over America. Michael Rose and many others have documented this ad nauseam.
Militant gays insist that their sexuality is "integrated", and most psychologists employed by diocesan vocation boards also insist that homosexual men are for the most part normal and healthy individuals who have "integrated their sexuality with all aspects of their personality." Hubbard is simply using coded words that say nothing.
Homosexual men admitted to the seminary are also "prepared intellectually, emotionally and spiritually to lead a celibate life and to have demonstrated an ability to fulfill this commitment."
"Celibacy" in the strict sense of the word is the promise NOT TO MARRY.
"Chastity" is the proper use of one's sexuality according to his state in life.
For unmarried persons, this means continence.
Homosexual men do not wish to marry women, so they are quite prepared to lead a "celibate" life. But continence is another matter!
They also very easily fulfill Bishop Hubbard's "five year period of celibate living before diaconal ordination", since marriage is the last thing on their minds.
Am I parsing his words too much?
It is not possible to parse Hubbard's words too much. He's as slick as Clinton with the language. And that comes from someone who grew up in the diocese and was even confirmed by him.
