Rochester Bishop ‘Happy to Receive’ Celibate Gay Seminarians

I encourage you in your vocation and beg that you please fight against homosexual infiltration of the hierarchy and for restoration of Catholic Tradition.

Absolutely. The Rochester Bishop is being disobedient. However, he does have his own authority, and he is not being heretical, since the seminarians he is receiving are pledging to be celibate. The problem is, however, that homosexual tendencies, while not being sinful in their own right, are a warning sign of sexual dysfunctional, which can metasticize under the rigors of celibacy and the exercise of authority: not all of those with homosexual inclinations are abusers, but a striking number of the abusers were homosexuals.
