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

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.

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

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?

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

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).

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

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.

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.

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.

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?
