What a silly way to start the article, attempting to redefine the argument.

Reese writes: "The idea that gays cannot be good priests is stupid, demeaning, unjust, and contrary to the facts."

First, this sounds like a typical video taped comment from one of those Jay Leno style person on the street interview, with camera rolling, and in this case, it sounds like an interview of a sophomore sociology studies co-ed from a no-name college.

Good in the eyes of the Church are clearly different from good in the eyes of a dissenting jesuit.

The Church calls the priest...it's not a job application.   The Church doesn't want to call men with high probability issues.  

It's really like saying there 300 lb diabetic 20 year olds "could be good priests".   They're not going to get the call either for good reasons...it's not good for them.
