If you are a young, Catholic, homosexual man, you have two choices:

1) live your life in celibacy--either openly homosexual but fending off all possible loving relationships so that you can remain celibate, or closeted with everyone you know openly wondering if you are gay. Ultimately, it's a really lonely existence either way. Or

2) Join the priesthood, where you will have a brotherhood and a community to support you, and no one will question your celibacy.

it's really no wonder that so many priests are homosexual. The system is set up in such a way that it's really the only viable option for a homosexual man who wants to remain faithful to the Church.

There are quite a few homosexual men who would disagree - TCIrish03 2019-06-21 18:00:08
