On Further Review, bigotry is outweighed by necessity

From the AP:
A Vatican document expected to be made public soon stops short of a sweeping ban on homosexuals entering the priesthood, allowing those who have lived chastely for three years to be candidates for the clergy, a senior Vatican official said Friday.

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.


Somebody mentioned that if they banned gays, they might as well just close down shop. They cannot afford to discriminate.

...even though they really want to.
