**That section focuses especially on the concrete skills, behaviors, attitudes and supports men need in order to form an effective, mature commitment to a chaste life of celibacy.
When the bishops voted on the fifth edition, it was widely known that the Vatican was preparing to issue a statement on the question of whether homosexually oriented applicants should be accepted into the seminary or ordained to the priesthood.
With that in mind, at the Vatican's suggestion the bishops adopted a norm that says, "With regard to the admission of candidates with same-sex experiences and/or inclinations, the guidelines provided by the Holy See must be followed."
Last November the long-expected Vatican document was released. It said bishops "cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture.'" **
BINGO!! We have a BINGO!!
Not really... 10:1 they dodged actually stating the policy, so it would be easier to mischaracterize. Think: Is it easier to say, "With regard to the admission of candidates with same-sex experiences and/or inclinations, the guidelines provided by the Holy See must be followed," or, "No gays."
The USCCB will fight for homosexuals in the seminaries to their dying breath. It is the only issue to them.
