Vatican could screen for gays
THE Vatican acknowledges that psychological tests could help identify candidates for the Catholic priesthood who show homosexual tendencies, according to a newly-released document.
While condoning the use of such tests by Catholic seminaries, the document released today and approved by Pope Benedict XVI says they must be strictly voluntary.
"Deep-seated homosexual tendencies" and "uncertain sexual identity" are listed in the document along with "excessive rigidity of character" and "strong affective dependencies" as traits that might make a candidate unsuitable for the priesthood.

this will involve wiring them up and parading groups of choir boys or muscle men in front of them.

I don't know about you, Doris, but I have some very deep seated homosexual tendencies. In fact, the last time I had my dick up another man's arse I think you could say I had quite a proclivity for it!

And this coming from a bunch of closet queens in strange drag...
It's never been fully explained while that cheery current Pope who wears Gucci slip-ons, is called Brenda by his pals.

Interesting that according to the article 'the Pedophile priest scandals that have hit the Catholic Church in recent years were not the "primary cause" behind the document .... but they helped "accelerate" the process and were "certainly a determining factor" '. Having banned "those who practice homosexuality, show profoundly deep-rooted homosexual tendencies, or support the so-called gay culture" by Papal decree on August 31 2005, Pope Benedict XVI is clearly following an even more hardline policy than his predecessor, John Paul II, who at least considered that homosexual orientation by Catholics was acceptable but homosexual activity was not.
It also appears to indicate that the Catholic church sees a stronger link between pedophiles and homosexuals than heterosexuals - possibly because, according to the same decree, homosexuals are considered not to have reached "emotional maturity".
Thank God (metaphorically) that I am no longer a Catholic.
I see Wesley's friend God ...
... has just killed off over 200 Pakistanis in an earthquake. I guess even God needs a bit of R&R from deciding who should be gay
