Gay is a sexual orientation.
Catholic priests can thus NEVER be gay.
why?
because they are celebate!
and if they aren't they they get defrocked, is what is supposed to happen.
so any Jesuit who says stuff like the guy in this article is ignorant.
same sex attraction: it's a thing
having sex: it's a different thing.
gay is both.
a Catholic priest might have been same-sex attracted before he became a priest, but if he's a sincere Catholic he is celebite.
