Vatican approves Italian guidelines allowing gay men to become priests, so long as they remain celibate
- The Vatican has approved new guidelines allowing gay men to become priests in Italy, provided they remain celibate.
- The guidelines clarify that sexual orientation is only one aspect of a candidate's personality and should not disqualify them from seminary admission.
- The new rules, adopted by the Italian Bishops' Conference, went into effect for a three-year trial period starting Thursday.
- Rev. James Martin noted that this is the first time a Vatican-approved document suggests that discernment cannot solely depend on sexual orientation.
