Homo Hymen Check
I haven't commented on the story about the Vatican's plan to root out even celibate gay priests and run them out of the church, mainly because after entering the age of the Rat I figured it was pretty much to be taken for granted. I mean, what else would you expect?
But upon seeing a post over at Feministe I couldn't resist a comment on the news that the document the Vatican is preparing contains a loophole (*ahem*) for gay priest who have proof of celibacy for three years.
The document, in the works for at least three years, updates Vatican policy, which had held that gays or men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained, regardless of whether they can remain celibate.
The new document permits candidates who have lived a chaste life for at least three years before their admission to a seminary, said the senior official, who requested anonymity because the document has not yet been released.
I'd love to know how they're going to proove celibacy for three years. Maybe a homo hymen check?
