The direction not to ordain priests with a "deep seated homosexual tendency" has been repeated (the ordinations prior to that were contrary to canon anyway) and today homosexuality actual or latent is a real bar toward ordination. The Holy Inquisition is here: there was a review done of the Catholic seminaries; the orders with incidents of abuse and under modernist influences have been suppressed; the church is returning to orthodoxy. I wish these processes were faster and more resolute, but progress has been unmistakable such as it is. That is because we are the real Church founded by Christ: always young and always reforming. We are doing just fine.
That kind of sin has been rampant in the RCC for over a thousand years.
You know that how? I don't know about your religion but mine abhors slander. The sex abuse epidemic peaked after quite unfortunate attempt to Protestantize the Church after the Second Vatican Council; the attempt failed and the abuse is largely gone by now.
The real culprit in this is the sexual liberation that started by the so-called reformation. It is Luther who desecrated the monasteries and fornicated with nuns. Don't like it -- get rid of the Protestant heresies that shaped the modern world in Satan's image.
Big deal, so the church doesn't knowingly ordain homosexual priests. So what does it do when it finds out about them?
Oh yeah, once a priest, always a priest.

Say WHAT?!?!?! I thought reformation was bad. How can it be being reformed? That'w what they kicked Luther out for wanting to do.
We are doing just fine.
Yeah, that's real obvious /heavy sarcasm

Here, posted by one of your own, one good Catholic who is speaking out against this atrocity.

Every evil of the world was started with the Protestant Revolution, eh??????
That's a good one. Thanks for the laugh.
As long as Catholics live in denial about their past, they will never be in touch with the reality of the present either and therefore NOTHING will ever change.
Got proof?
And not one other priest ever did that, eh?
Yeah, right........
And where do you find that? Plural no less.
In addition is the fact that RCs have the more liberal moral views, and while you as a layman (i presume) discount the majority of RCs as being so and long for the Inquisition to proscute them, the fact remains that the church you defend and promote treats the most "nominal" RCs as members in life and in death, even "manifest sinners" as Ted Kennedy being a notable example. For the meaning of canon can be interpreted differently by those who are to enforce it.
End of story.
I guess that had never ever happened before Luther. Oh, was it okay when it was a non-reformist Catholic who did it?
