Catholic Church to Allow Homosexual Preists

Another big wow.

Via Jewschool, an article from CBC annoucing the Catholic Church's decision to allow men who have been chaste for three years to become candidates for preisthood.

That brings up a lot of questions in my mind.

How do they know for sure if a candidate has been chaste for three years? Does that mean the candidate must stay chaste for life or after being conferred with preisthood, is he allowed to go back to engaging in homosexual behavior? If proclaimed homosexual (albeit chaste ones) are allowed to enter the preisthood, is this also a proclamation by the Catholic Church condoning homosexual behavior (or if not the behavior, then homosexuality in general)among its congregants? Why would they rather have homosexual men as preists than to allow women to enter the ranks of preisthood? And will the conferring of preisthood to women be far behind?

Interesting stuff.
