Thank you for your comments; I found them enlightening and helpful.
In the same way if a homosexual priest were to not say anything about his sexuality than there won't be a problem.
I agree with this; my question/issue with the news item I quoted above is that it sounded like the Church was going to go out of its way to "check" if a potential entry to the seminary had ever expressed any homosexual leanings. Almost like they (the ubiquitous "they," as my husband says) were trying to make sexual orientation/preference an issue, even if the candidate himself had nothing to say on the matter.
Yeah. Even I don't think I'm making sense now, but I wanted to respond to your comment.
