Pope Francis: 'It's better not to let them enter  by Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th. • ChurchMilitant.com
Two successive popes have directed that homosexual men should not be in the seminary. The case of homosexual predator Fr. Robert DeLand is yet more proof of the negative consequences arising from ordaining gay men.
Under the direction of then Pope Benedict XVI, the Vatican issued 2008 guidelines directing seminaries to dismiss men who have not only "deep-seated homosexual tendencies" but also those with "uncertain sexual identity." Of this latter group, the 2008 guidelines say of such men that their "path of formation will have to be interrupted," meaning dismissal from the seminary.
The 2008 document was speaking in the context of psychological deficiencies in seminarians, pointing out, "Such immaturity would include … uncertain sexual identity; deep-seated homosexual tendencies; etc. If this should be the case, the path of formation will have to be interrupted."
Last May, Pope Francis seemingly reiterated this directive to a group of Italian bishops. Addressing the Italian bishops' conference during the 71st general assembly on May 25, the Holy Father stated, "If you have even the slightest doubt" about homosexuals being considered for seminary, then "it's better not to let them enter."
Francis approvingly referenced the ban on seminarians with "deep-seated [homosexual] tendencies" or those who practice "homosexual acts" from being admitted to the seminary because it can lead to "scandal" as well as jeopardize the life of the seminary, the formation of the man and his future as a priest.
Right, because Luther is a good boy who dindu nuffin and totally didn't open the door for Freemasons to introduce liberalism and communism to the world. No sir! He is completely innocent in this.
Same user here I blame the Jesuits as well. They literally made liberation theology and are responsible for the jesuit showcased in embed related. Wanna know a fun fact? if prots had not protted, the Jesuits wouldn't exist
also sedes get the lake of fire just as much as a prot does
This is fantastic. Looks like our daily Rosaries are being answered, fellow Cathbros. Let's keep up the assault though, because prayer is more powerful than we could ever imagine, and a total victory against the forces of evil is what we're after here. By the grace of God, our Church will be saved from the corruption.
Read the link friend, it's about how the seminaries are brimful with faggots. I'm sure it will make you want to become a seminarian too.

Fags that literally lied to get in there. Maybe if prots hadn't winnie the poohed everything up for everyone by secularizing the world, sodomy would still be illegal and they can be easily kicked out.
Your earlier claim that the Popes wanted them there is false and will still be false. Try harder next time, prot.

Catholic seminarians are openly homosexual. If the roman pedophilic church wanted to do something about it, they would've done so a long time ago. Clearly the popes are tolerant/approving of this, just google "John Paul 2 pedophile" f.e.

Meanwhile, as this happens, in Coptic circles we have our angry gays too. Look at this one blog reacting to my holy Bishop Youssef saying being gay is wrong! gaycopt.blogspot.com/2011/01/bishop-youssef-and-throwing-stones.html They are such hateful people, no? We must pray for them.
