"Exclude from seminary formation and ordination any homosexual, whether "gay" or chaste. The former brings with him too much baggage, and the latter should not sign up for "guy-only" work that will have him living with other men (thus putting him into near occasions of sin). Even if the chaste homosexual thinks he has a call to the priesthood, it would be uncharitable to him to admit him to ordination, given the current situation. He should be encouraged to serve the Church in other ways.

If the priesthood in this country were healthy, little or no harm would come from ordaining chaste homosexuals whose homosexuality is kept private. But we do not live in ordinary times. We live with a priesthood that has been damaged by "gay" homosexuality. Until the damage is repaired, we should operate conservatively ....

Not coincidentally, by solving the problem of "gays" in the priesthood, we would go a long way toward solving that other problem: theological dissent in the priesthood."
