Has Pope Francis signed a document that gay men can now become priests?

He got in trouble recently for using an impolite slang word in Italian, (in a private conversation with an unfriendly cardinal, who couldn’t wait to tell the press), complaining about too much homosexuality in seminaries. It roughly tranlates as faggotry, if there were such a word.

Some of them are oriented as homosexual or bi, but aren’t having sex with men, or women, and don’t plan to, for religious reasons, etc.

I don’t think so, and suspect I would have heard of it. Everybody would. It’s man bites dog news

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

Roughly 4.5% of men have sex exclusively with men and another 2.5% have sex with both men and women. That’s seven percent, gay or bisexual.

Pope Francis is well aware that there are a lot of gay priests.

Every ordination class has gay men in it, statistically. (The science is in the article, below.)

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

Some of those religious men are attracted to the priesthood for a lot of reasons, including the “no sex with anybody” thing and how that’s supported and accepted and honored in the Catholic church, plus maybe discomfort with women or a host of other possible explanations.

No, he didn’t sign such a document. For one thing, how do you tell who’s even gay at all? There’s no blood test. Just what people disclose, pretty much. If they are seminarians, who are the majority going to tell?

It’s widely known and accepted that gay men have been around forever, including in ordination classes, and on the papal throne in certain periods. Pope Francis, in spite of his world-wide publicized gaffe, has championed the rights of gay and lesbian people — supporting gay civil unions (so long as they don’t call them marriages), and loving welcome to people of all sexual orientations (especially if they don’t have sex with anybody).
