The test itself: one is reminded of the old schoolboy joke about the smeinarians standing naked in a row with bells tied to their members. An attractive young woman walks along the rank, also naked. All remains "calm" until she gets about halfway along the line, where one unfortunate lad's bell goes into such a frenzy that it falls off. It's when he bends over to retrieve it that the cacophany begins! Happy New Year to all! On a lighter note!

Hypocrisy at its best! "The tests must be voluntary, but refusing to undergo one would likely bar you from the priesthood." My question for "His Hopelessness" along with all of his "henchmen" -- if Homosexuality was such a big deal, why didn't the son of God preach against it during his life on earth? Maybe they should focus more on what Jesus did teach -- peace, tolerance, acceptance, care for the poor and love. HAAA!!! Hypocrisy at its best!

What about some of his hierarchy who have mistresses on the side? How's he going to weed that out? What's he going to do after "weeding" out all the gay seminarians and priests and finds that paedophilia and philandering still persists among his clergy and hierarchy alike? What does he say about the seminarians, priests and prelates who molest girls? Excuse them because they're straight and dismiss it as paedophilia?

One reason the Catholic Church gives for condemning homosexuality is that it is not 'natural' - like being 'celibate' is natural?

That's exactly what the Vatican is trying to do with this new psychological tests link homosexuality to paedophilia once again, so that weeding out potential homosexual priests in the future will somehow reduce the cases and number of paedophiles. There is here in Italy a religous-nutter lame catholic medical doctor senator(old lady) Mrs Binetti, endorsing the new church's guidelines making absolutely clear what exactly they intended to do, that is fully "combat" paedophilia. And yes, she still hasn't lost her medical licenses! B@stards! Oh, seems that you didn't get it!

I hope it comes about, the RC cult is writing its own prescription for further decline and probable extinction, and that's a good thing. Bring it on Benedict!

If only they were as lenient with the gay priests as they have been with the paedophile priests (i.e. just moving them to different parishes) it wouldn't smack so much of hypocracy.
