“…the Church, while profoundly respecting the persons in question, cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called ‘gay culture.’”

Practicing homosexuality? Obviously, the meaning in context is 'sexually active,' but the wording is awkward and indicative of a shallow understanding of human sexuality. We are all sexual beings, therefore we all 'practice' our sexuality every day.

As for 'deep-seated homosexual tendencies' and supporting 'the so-called gay culture,' the meaning is crystal clear. Stay in the closet and talk about sports. A lot. And we don't mean figure skating either.
