Semper Catholic Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Am I missing something? There are plenty of gay people who become priests. What's the difference? This woman would take the same vows of celibacy that any nun would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides' Jack Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Church law prohibits homosexuals from entering the priesthood. As you stated, this does not stop it, however... The Church isn't going to start doing security gender-checks at the doors to vows/ordination, so nothing will ever be completely cut off, other than those things that aren't even valid (i.e. women priests). But there is a reason for those laws to exist in the Church, and they should be applied correctly in every situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
