A Question for Teresa Collett

A question for Teresa Collett:  Would you recommend that the Vatican do what it is (was?) considering doing:  i.e., exclude homosexual men from the priesthood.  If so, why?

In my judgment, for the Vatican to exclude homosexual men from the priesthood would be for it to sin againt the Gospel.  Not that the Vatican hasn't sinned before.  Not that it won't again.  But one can hope.  And pray.  And speak out.

In any event, to consider doing something is not to do it.  Sometimes better minds--and hearts--prevail.
