I feel ugly and mean saying this and I do believe the ones who are to be ordained probably should be but no more for ten years.

Then you'll be encouraging lying.

Ten years? You won't have any seminarians under 40.

There is a new breed of young orthodox priests and they are not homosexual.They follow the teachings of the Magisterium and are in union with the Holy Father.They will attract like men.They were aware of the sacrifices they were making and they will save the Church. That is as long as we don't make a couple of end runs introducing new "disciplines" or removing old ones.

Under no circumstances did I mean that a man who had openly declared his homosexuality, or acted on it,should be ordained. My statement was made about the ones who were psychologically profiled and perhaps been determined to have had homosexual tendencies.If they had never acted on them or supported homosexuality as normal and had been accepted despite the testing I think ordination would be acceptable. I would assume that any mature adult has wondered about homosexuality and thought about people's attractiveness. On a test would that register as a homosexual tendency? Who knows? I know I am not clear but these tests make a significant difference because they could be misused and,or designed poorly. I think this is a whole new wrinkle and needs to be reviewed carefully.
