I can’t help but think that the folks at the NYTimes who reported that the Vatican would issue a blanket ban on all men who admitted to homosexual inclinations are disappointed today. I’m relieved the Times was wrong:

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Vatican will allow gay men into the priesthood if they can show they have been celibate for at least three years, leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported on Friday.
But it said the Vatican will ban men who “publicly manifest their homosexuality” or show an “overwhelming attraction” to homosexual culture “even if it is only intellectually.”
