Italian bishops allow gay men to train as priests with a requirement for celibacy

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Italian Bishops Conference (CIE) has announced that gay men can train as priests but must adhere to celibacy.
  • The new guidelines represent a shift from Pope Francis's previous stance against admitting gay men to seminaries.
  • The CIE emphasized the importance of an orientation towards celibate life during the training process.
  • Active gay men will still be excluded from seminaries and holy orders despite the new guidelines.
  • This decision aligns with Pope Francis’s more inclusive tone towards LGBTQ+ individuals since his papacy began in 2013.
