WTF?

...men may be ordained if they clearly overcome their transitory gay tendencies for three years before becoming a deacon, the last step before priesthood...
Vatican Bans Homosexuals

"transitory gay tendencies"? What the hell does that mean? Is that like "I experimented with bi-sexuality in college" or "I blew a guy, but didn't swallow" or "I'm only gay when I'm drunk"?

So they make a big stink about no gays, but say nothing about pedophiles? It seems to me that they are paying millions of dollars in child-abuse lawsuits, not because lesbians and gays are clergy. I guess they are relying on the fact that a lot of people go out of their way to confuse the two entirely unrelated sexual behaviors.

To paraphrase Jon Stewart: They seemed obessed with making sure it's *women* that celebate priests are not having sex with. Although kids apparently are okay as long as no one finds out.
