In recent hours, the Vatican made their new guideline clear, thereby declaring that applicants for seminary cannot be restrained from pursuing their dream because they are gay.
However, the guildeline bid that applicants in this situation must be celibate per The New York times.
Moreover, the Vatican also made it clear that this doesn’t change the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching against homosexuality, proving vitally that it’s still intact. However, sexuality taste shouldn’t be a barrier disrupting applicants from serving God. The strict guideline spill that the applicant must be chaste.
Despite that the Catholic Church’s teaching condemns the same sex sexual orientation and practices, they have battled incredible pressure linking to the point evolving over gay activities among priests.
Perhaps, not all the Bishop has condoned the new guideline as pricecly African Bishops and many other European Bishops have refused to confide in the rule.
In other view, Pope Francis has been keen on making believers dive in his point of view, fighting for understanding. After identifying the LGBT community he once welcomed into the religious community as ‘slur’, the Vatican city apologized on his behalf.
Meanwhile in 2024, Pope Francis allowed priests to bless same sex couple and not their union.
Since the new guideline surfaced online, believers has been on their nerves reacting incredibly according to their views.
In other words, several Vatican media have come out to deny the news, outlining it fake, while top medias continues to broadcast the new guidelines.
