Vatican document will bar homosexuals from the priesthood
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A new Vatican document will bar from the priesthood practicing homosexuals, men whose gay tendencies are "deeply rooted," or who openly espouse a gay culture, a leading Italian newspaper reported on Friday.
"The Church cannot admit to the priesthood those who practice homosexuality, have deeply rooted homosexual tendencies or those who support the so-called 'gay culture,'" [Il Giornale of Milan] quoted the document as saying.

The Holy Spirit is alive and well in Benedict's reign!!! (Not that I had any doubts)
I love Pope Benedict XVI. How we must help him with our prayers and penances!
Quintero - you are absolutely right about praying for the Holy Father.
My only hesitation Quintero, is that you're quoting an Italian periodical, and while I would stop short of calling the Italian media sensationalistic, they're not exactly known for responsible journalism, though then again neither is the American media, All I'm saying is, let's wait to hear it from B16, before we pop out a bottle of the bubbly.
sodomites are crazy, we should be ashamed as a society for letting them diddle each other, after all we wouldn't let a guy who thought he was napoleon fornicate with other crazy people, why stop when its a man who thinks he's a woman?
Pray indeed for his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI!
Let's wait until the thing comes out. I think in the end nothing will change. Unless the seminarian is obviously, flamingly gay he'll be ordained.
