A day after the disclosure of a new Vatican directive that deters most gay men from joining the priesthood, some priests say they are shocked by one easily overlooked clause. It says that spiritual directors and confessors in seminaries "have the duty to dissuade" any candidates "who show deep-seated homosexual tendencies" from joining the priesthood.

These priests said this would turn the confessional and spiritual counseling sessions, which seminarians previously regarded as private and supportive meetings, into a tool for weeding gay men out of seminaries.

Well shouldn't they? Or ought the Bible be rewritten, and the clergy be led after the image of the very Sodom and Gummorah God once destroyed?

The gay movement says it just wants their privacy protected, but the more we look into it, the more we see them imposing their decadent lifestyle on the world, both in public and in private, both in government and in the churches.
