Francis: "No Room For Homosexuals In Seminaries" - Does He Mean It?

If homosexuals are banned from seminaries, where will Francis find Perverts to promote?

From Gloria.tv

Homosexuality in the clergy and in consecrated life "is something that concerns me" and is “a very serious issue”, Pope Francis says in a book-interview with Father Fernando Prado ("The Force of Vocation").

According to PeriodistaDigital.com (November 30), Francis states that there is no room for homosexual tendencies in the consecrated and priestly life.

Therefore people with such an ingrained tendency "should not be accepted" into the priesthood or into consecrated life.

He underlines that homosexual tendencies may become visible only after the years of formation. In that case homosexual priests should rather leave the ministry than live a double life.

Francis criticises that homosexuality is seen in Western societies as "fashionable", a tendency that "influences the life of the Church". However, Francis himself has contributed to this.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
