CWN: Gay Ban Green-Lighted
Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) has given his approval to a new Vatican policy document indicating that men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained as Catholic priests.The report anticipates a Post-Synod release.
The new document-- which was prepared by the Congregation for Catholic Education, in response to a request made by the late Pope John Paul II (bio - news) in 1994-- will be published soon. It will take the form of an "Instruction," signed by the prefect and secretary of the Congregation: Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski and Archbishop Michael Miller.

Too bad, if true. It will be interesting to see what the document actually says. The devil is in the details.
The proper understanding of the term "God calls..." includes the little fact that He 'calls' THROUGH His Church, which happens to be making the rules.
Hold your horses everyone. We haven't seen the document. We don't know what it says. Probably CWNEWS hasn't seen it, but just got word that the document - whatever it says - has been approved.
