Pope, in book, says homosexuality incompatible with priesthood
Nov-24-2010
"Homosexuality is incompatible with the priestly vocation. Otherwise, celibacy itself would lose its meaning as a renunciation. It would be extremely dangerous if celibacy became a sort of pretext for bringing people into the priesthood who don't want to get married anyway," the pope said.
The pope cited a 2005 Vatican document that drew a sharp line against priestly ordination of homosexuals. He said the document emphasized that homosexual candidates cannot become priests because their sexual orientation interferes with "the proper sense of paternity" that belongs to the priesthood.
The pope said it was important to select priestly candidates very carefully.

Bottom line...with all the mess in the church, no Pope, no human, is going to change a thing. Too late..you can go round and round and you'll end up in the same place, scratching your 'whatever.'
We can say this and that about this pope and that pope, they should have done this or they should have handled …More

We can say this and that about this pope and that pope, they should have done this or they should have handled it this way....and it may be true. But all this is happening for a reason and God is allowing it. Doesn't mean we all sit back and not have a say in anything, of course Not!
We are where we are at this point and time. We will suffer a white martyrdom, we can see that. Trust in God and Pray. And never stop defending the Faith.
