Comments on: Gay Priests: Vatican Implying Genetic Basis of Homosexuality? http://www.librarygrrrl.net/2005/09/23/210/ hockey player ~ feminist ~ library geek ~ dog freak Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:13:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Genevieve http://www.librarygrrrl.net/2005/09/23/210/#comment-609 Genevieve Wed, 28 Sep 2005 21:46:52 +0000 http://www.librarygrrrl.net/2005/09/23/210/#comment-609 I think that the implication is that you can overcome your homosexuality at a young age, and that if you haven't, you oughtn't be a priest. So any priest who admits to being gay is committing a sin. It's a bit like the US army policy. Is that totally unreasonable? I wonder if they'll start asking priests if they ever think about men.

What I'm wondering is how they are going to be able to tell who is gay. It's not like a blood test or something can determine that. Do they just screen out people based on stereotypical behavior?

How could it matter? Are straight men more likely to remain celibate? I'm totally lost. Thanks for the link and information.
