Vatican plan to block gay priests
So the Vatican is to ban gay priests, does this mean there will be a severe shortage? Or will they let the ones they already have, stay?
The new Pope faces his first controversy over the direction of the Catholic church after it was revealed that the Vatican has drawn up a religious instruction preventing gay men from being priests.

Gay men will be in good company, women are also discriminated against.

No surprise there,
when you elect a bigot with a collar to run your empire.

While acknowledging the apparent irony of the statement as well as the opportunities it creates for sardonic humor, I must ask:
Are you Catholic?
(I am not)
Do you urge anti-Catholic discrimination in light of the statement?
Are you as picky about the mores and behaviors of Islamists or Buddhists as you are about Christians/Jews?
Do you think your views are consistant?

You can't be bigoted against everyone, that would just be mental .... oh right.
At least he isn't being obvious .... sorry my mistake again.

I don't understand how you can be a gay priest anyway.
Aren't priest supposed to abstain from sex? Or is it just the feeling?
Are they blocking priests that were gay before the priesthood?
Will they block priests that have shown the propensity for having straight sex too?
Btw I wouldn't say this is a bigoted move in light of all the pedophiles that have permeated the Catholic Church.
However, to make it fair, they need to block priests that are having straight sex.

I don't want to pick you up wrong here, however are you suggesting that there is a link between homosexuality and pedophilia.

Re: Vatican plan to block gay priests
I dont think he is JP...
The point is.. as they are supposed to be above sins of the flesh altogether, as they say...
How would you know they were Gay, unless they partook as it were..
If they partook in those sins.. shouldnt they be defrocked anyway, ir-respective of whether it was with a man, woman, child or sheep..
They broke their vows whoever or whatever they slept with. :ph34r:
