CatherineM Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 [quote name='infinitelord1' timestamp='1296529993' post='2207290'] Are you suggesting that, because it is intramural, a bunch of people who aren't confident in their sexual identities are playing sports with each other? It was designed this way (Intramurally) intentionally for this reason? I guess im just struggling with why you mentioned the sports part. [/quote] The sports are actually part of the formation process at our seminary. It is partially to help them develop an active social life. It is part of trying to make the seminary a masculine atmosphere. For those who just aren't athletically inclined, they do badminton on Wednesday nights, and have a fitness room too. It's also important to emphasize fitness in priests because of the stress their jobs will entail, and sometimes bad eating habits they get because of the crazy hours they will work.

MissyP89 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like JLo's point -- temptation is temptation no matter what it is. Would it be a bigger cross for gay men? Yes. But I think it needs to be a case-by-case scenario. If they're stable, healthy, and accountable to someone else on a regular basis, I see no problem with it.
