When I was a kid growing up in the Catholic Church (I no longer practice Catholicism in large part because of their tolerance/use of homosexuals as priests/deacons), that was how families in the church planned to "deal" with the male homosexuals in their family--by sending them off to the seminary. It was widely known. I don't think permanent celibacy (in adulthood) is ever legitimate until one has been married and perhaps lost a spouse or been heartbroken.
Eh, tell it to that notorious bachelor Jesus Christ.
Or those terrible men John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Or Mother Teresa. Or St. Paul. Or...... well you get the picture.
