[Jeff Chandler]

It seems that in the past, too many extremely young men (sexually immature) entered into the seminaries. This may have contributed to the pedophile/homosexual priest scandal.

If by "sexually immature" you mean "homosexual", then yes.

[Gen. Burkhalter]

Not necessarily. Keep in mind, not ALL of the victims of abusive priests were male although most were.

By sexually immature, here is what I mean: Even though a young seventeen year old may have felt a strong calling to the priesthood, does that mean such a young person is mature enough to comprehend the Church’s strict policy with regards to celibacy.

Celibacy is a tough discipline. While valued and appropriate, it must be made by a fully mature individual capable of comprehending it and living by it.
