I'm all for the Vatican's new statement, just in case anyone would be remotely interested :D
Yes, so am I. And, thank heavens. Kudos to the Vatican for a clear and concise statement with no mincing of words or convoluted dissection of meaning.
Liberal news agencies may spout the usual claptrap about how divisive the Vatican's policy of not allowing gays in the priesthood is, but the priest is an icon of Christ and therefore represents the Truth who is Christ. With the unassailable demand of being "in persona Christi," we know that it is only reasonable that a careful screening of candidates be enforced in order to weed out unsuitable men.
