can gay be priests?

[dimpy.handa]

This is a debate about the religious places, and a proposition that utterly discounts the authority of the Holy books is rather missing the point. There is a genuine debate within the society about whether gay men and women can be true representatives of God on earth?

Since the Bible itself is against homosexuality, i think a gay priest could never be accepted by the people.

The Church has a right and a duty to exercise careful discernment in the admission of seminarians. When the document says that this has been made ?more urgent by the current situation?, then presumably it is thinking of the crisis of sexual abuse that has shaken the Church in the West. So there are two questions: does this document provide good criteria for discerning who has a vocation? And will it help to address the crisis of sexual abuse?
