Big difference from your earlier comment where you suggest that is the only reason.Yes. Its plausible. If I’m a religious gay catholic, thats what i’ll do. Unfortunately there is really no cure for gayness. So all a gay priest can do is to continue hiding in the closet.

If you really were a religious gay catholic who wanted to become a priest you would know that it would be impossible because you would have to lie about your sexual orientation. Meaning you have to obtain an extremely sacred position under false pretenses.Yes. Its plausible. If I’m a religious gay catholic, thats what i’ll do. Unfortunately there is really no cure for gayness. So all a gay priest can do is to continue hiding in the closet.
You obviously have no concept of what it means to feel extremely guilty about something.

Jack Chick is known for his scrupulous honesty and absolute accuracy in writing about Church history, and especially in anything he says about the CAtholic Church.

And they were kicked out the moment they came out of the closet. Tells you something doesn’t it?
Also, I skimmed through a few of the other articles and it just proved my point. The GLBT community hates us for not allowing people with their orientation into our clergy.
We’re cleaning them out.
P.S.
Quoting from a liberal gay activist source isn’t helping your position right now.

Nah, I think the best way to describe him is how he’s the man whose brain has become an empty black hole. XD

such tendencies must be overcome at least three years before ordination to the diaconate.

So are we now in agreement that gay catholics lie about their sexual orientation during their ordaination?

the existence of gay priests proves that 3 years is not enough.

Lets go back to my original question…what happens to pregnant nuns? if its the result of consentual sex, or if its the result of sex abuse.

Nope, I’m saying that the articles there are only proving how strict the Church is on gay people becoming priests under false pretenses and any person who is truly a religious Catholic would know of these consequences. The Church has long been criticized by GLBTs for not accepting them into the clergy. It just so happens that we’ve recently made it even harder for them to enter than before. And even back then there were not that many.

So how do you explain the existence of Gay priests? Are they straight when were ordained?
not counting those who keep it secret on the pains of being stripped of priesthood.
afterall isnt it ok in catholicism to be gay as long as you dont engaged in homo sex?

How do you explain beastiality?
Dosent Matter - No SEX after the vow -
In the Army it’s called treason
Celibacy of the Clergy
Speaking, for the moment, only of Western Christendom, the candidates for orders are solemnly warned by the bishop at the beginning of the ceremony regarding the gravity of the obligation which they are incurring. He tells them:
You ought anxiously to consider again and again what sort of a burden this is which you are taking upon you of your own accord. Up to this you are free. You may still, if you choose, turn to the aims and desires of the world (licet vobis pro artitrio ad caecularia vota transire). But if you receive this order (of the subdiaconate) it will no longer be lawful to turn back from your purpose. You will be required to continue in the service of God, and with His assistance to observe chastity and to be bound for ever in the ministrations of the Altar, to serve who is to reign.
By stepping forward despite this warning, when invited to do so, and by co-operating in the rest of the ordination service, the candidate is understood to bind himself equivalently by a vow of chastity. He is henceforth unable to contract a valid marriage, and any serious transgression in the matter of this vow is not only a grievous sin in itself but incurs the additional guilt of sacrilege.

dosdog, is it ok to be a gay priest as long as he is celibate?

I’m sorry, but I don’t recall myself saying that the clergy was 100% free of gays. Maybe 90%+
Your remark of the priesthood attracting gay people seemed to imply that it’s full of them and that’s just plain bogus. We are constantly being mauled by hotheaded liberal GLBT activists for not letting them in to our clergy. Some may have gotten in but that just gave us more reason to tighten up our standards.
P.S.
I thought you were gonna go back to the topic at hand?
