From the link:
The Vatican will allow gay men into the priesthood if they can show they have been celibate for at least three years, leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported on Friday.

Why can’t journalists get terminology straight? Assuming general accuracy of the piece, the opening paragraph messes things up completely. “Celibate” means “not married.” The Vatican will allow the ordination of homosexual men who haven’t been married for at least three years?

As to the question of ordination for homosexual men, if Rome approves, the matter is settled. If Rome disapproves, the matter is settled.

This is all close to much ado about nothing.
