Pope Benedict Antigay Tendencies

Effective immediately, the Vatican demands senior members of the Catholic Church "may not admit to the seminary and Holy Orders those who practice homosexuality, show profoundly deep-rooted homosexual tendencies, or support the so-called gay culture. The above persons find themselves, in fact, in a situation that gravely obstructs a right way of relating with men and women."

Futhermore, a would-be priest must be turned away if he "practices homosexuality or presents profoundly deep-rooted homosexual tendencies."
