There is nothing in Canon Law forbidding the ordination of celibate homosexuals.

Do you have any evidence that "celibate homosexuals" actually exist?

Do you have any evidence that "celibate homosexuals" actually exist?

Anecdotal, but yes. The Review Board recognized that there are celibate homosexuals in the priesthood as well.

There is nothing in Canon Law forbidding the ordination of celibate homosexuals.

There is nothing in Canon Law that prohibits the ordination of someone who boldly proclaims that an obvious sin is in fact not a sin?

Sinky has no more evidence that "celibate homosexuals" exist than YOU do that all homosexuals are practicing sodomy.

While the Canon law does not forbid Ordination of homosexuals, there's a Vatican document which clearly discourages it (written in the early 1960's.)

Prudence would restrain most men from ordaining a known homosexual, regardless of their celibacy.

And that prudence was proven in spades with the issuance of the report over the weekend: 80% of the molestations were homosexual.

Sure! They told him so. Course, if he wanted to he could easily find out differently, but that's *way* outside his comfort zone.
