Melbourne Catholic Church is now going to be “testing” priests to make sure they don’t have The Gay:
Under the guidelines, potential priests who “appear” to be gay must be banned.
…
Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby spokeswoman Hayley Conway said the church was sending a ‘‘dangerous and offensive’’ message about sexuality.
…
‘‘If the plan is to root out pedophilia or child molestation, targeting people with homosexual tendencies isn’t the way to go about it.’’
You know, for some reason, I just don’t trust the gaydar in the Catholic Church.
But if it helps get more people out of the Church, I guess it’s not all bad…
I wonder: How will they be “tested”?
Cynical-C speculates:
I wonder if the test will be true/false, essays, or something a bit more interactive
So from now on, if you hear of a pedophilia scandal in the Church, you can sleep safely knowing it’s only a heterosexual priest doing the raping.
