"His strongly-worded intervention in British politics comes after leaders of both the Roman Catholic Church and Church of England clashed with Labour over its flagship Equality Bill, which they fear will make them admit homosexuals to the priesthood or face prosecution for discriminating against them."

Am I missing something here? The Catholic Church has been admitting homosexuals to the priesthood from its inception.

I'm not sure, but I doubt that a candidate for the priesthood would even be questioned about his sexual orientation.

The CC requires chastity, appropriate to one's station in life, from all its members, the Church would say that God requires it.

The article seems to have been written by a non-Catholic or a very ignorant Catholic.

The BBC makes similar gaffes regularly.
