  For centuries, it was assumed that the call to priesthood was predicated on a simultaneous call to celibacy, and that the call to celibacy was binding equally and similarly on all candidates for priesthood, prescinding from sexual orientation. In these latter days, the Vatican has discerned a way to scapegoat homosexuals for the sex abuse crisis.The Instruction institutionalizes that hypocrisy. It creates a problem for all candidates for priesthood. The language of "intrinsic disorder" is not just wrong; it represents a dangerous and false understanding of human sexuality that will be troubling for any mature and healthy person contemplating priesthood. To the extent that the 'powers-that-be' intend to implement this directive, to that extent Catholic seminaries will be increasingly unhealthy places; the priesthood itself and the whole People of God will suffer accordingly. We should not pretend that the Instruction is a sane, safe or serious approach to priestly formation.
