"The Visitation does take up the issue of homosexuality. It is one of the issues of our times. Within this cultural environment, there can develop, even among men preparing for the priesthood, an ambiguity both about the Church’s teaching with regard to homosexuality and even whether some homosexual activity could be compatible with celibacy. Such ambiguity is not consistent with helping men to develop a mature commitment to living out celibacy every day for the rest of their lives. The Catholic Church is not alone among Christian faiths in finding a great deal of concern within its community with regard to homosexuality and the clergy.
“Recent news stories claim that the Holy See may soon issue a document on the admission of homosexual candidates to the seminary. Such a document has been said to be in preparation for several years as a policy directive for the whole Church. Connecting the possible release of this document to either the Visitation or the sex abuse crisis in the United States in 2002 ignores these facts.
