Vatican Introduces Guidelines Permitting Gay Men in Italian Seminaries with Celibacy Requirement

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • The Vatican has released guidelines allowing Italian gay men to enter seminaries, provided they adhere to a commitment of celibacy.
  • These guidelines state that sexual orientation should be considered only one aspect of a candidate's character during the selection process.
  • While clarifying this new stance, the guidelines do not alter the Church's official teaching regarding homosexual tendencies being “intrinsically disordered.”
  • Implementation of these guidelines follows a history of conflict within the Church regarding the acceptance of gay men in the priesthood.
  • Adopted by the Italian Bishop’s Conference and approved by the Vatican, these regulations will be tested over a three-year period.
