In my opinion, this is a risk the Church should not take, period. There is the potential of scandal; the potential of criminal activity; and the potential of financial damage (awards being paid.)
'Tis better to use the Roman proscription of homosexuals, period.
"I believe that CMA made only one error: they allow for the possibility of admitting homosexuals to the priesthood, as long as they are 'undergoing' or 'have undergone' treatment."
I think what the authors are saying here is that a person suffering from SSA (often called a homosexual) can be cured of the affliction. Thus, men who are subsequently cured are no longer homosexual. The authors specifically state that those still undergoing treatment ought to be precluded.
There may be those who say something like, "Once a homosexual, always a homosexual," but then their difference is with the CMA's conclusion that homosexuality can be cured at all, not with the recommendation that a former homosexual could possibly be reconsidered as a candidate for the priesthood.
The authors also state that a successfully-treated applicant must have observed five years of sexual abstinence before being admitted to the seminary.
I think that the recommendations here actually match the Roman proscription of ordaining homosexual men.
