La Associated Press reportó ayer que el Arzobispo O´Brien - que evaluará todos los seminarios de Estados Unidos para el Vaticano - comentó al National Catholic Register que hombres con "fuertes inclinaciones homosexuales" no deberían ser sacerdotes católicos.

WASHINGTON — The bishop overseeing a Vatican-ordered inspection of U.S. seminaries said there is no room there for men with strong homosexual inclinations. And an apostolic visitation that begins this month will seek to determine whether seminaries are enrolling them.
“I think anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity, or has strong homosexual inclinations, would be best not to apply to a seminary and not to be accepted into a seminary,” Archbishop Edwin O’Brien, who’s coordinating the visits of more than 220 seminaries and houses of formation, told the Register.
Archbishop O’Brien, who heads the Archdiocese for Military Services USA, said even homosexuals who have been celibate for 10 or more years should not be admitted to seminaries.
“The Holy See should be coming out with a document about this,” Archbishop O’Brien said.
The visitations were sparked by the sexual abuse scandal that hit the U.S. Church in 2002.
In a 2002 speech, Pope John Paul II linked the abuse scandals with seminary instruction and called for the exclusion of seminary candidates with observable “deviations in their affections.”
His words echoed a 1961 instruction to the superiors of religious communities on “Careful Selection and Training of Candidates for the States of Perfection and Sacred Orders.”
That document states: “Advancement to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers.”
Lo obvio: los gays serán los chivos expiatorios de la Iglesia Católica - one more time. La pregunta obligada: ¿será la purga de los gays en la iglesia el último clavo de su ataud?
