The following story is from the BBC news, its actually from October 2008. My thought is this; If the church wants to weed out those with 'homosexual tendencies', and they won't allow women preists, then who will they have for priests?
The Roman Catholic Church has issued guidance for future priests to have psychological tests to weed out those unable to control their sexual urges.
A senior churchman said a series of sex scandals had contributed to the rewriting of the guidelines.
The authors said screening would help avoid "tragic situations" caused by what they termed psychological defects.
The guidance says the voluntary tests should also aim to vet for those with "deep-seated homosexual tendencies".
