text: Some Catholics have complained about the lack of clarity in the new directive regarding admission to seminaries and homosexuality. Why not be clear? Same problem with L.A. Muddy waters lead to highly varied interpretations an scandal.  In order for a penitent to be forgiven of his or her sins, there must be a firm purpose of amendment to avoid serious sin. Conjugal continence in a 2d marriage w/o annulment is required in light of the indissolubility of Christian sacramental  marriage. Living faithfully is not impossible. Persons need to avoid the occasion of sin.  Subjective after the fact judgments about fault for the breakdown of the marriage and the good of the children to be in a 2-parent home do not make a 2d marriage moral without annulment of the first with ongoing adultery. Henry VIII would have never formed his own church given this new theology. This is not a slippery slope, but rather, downhill skiing.
