American Bishops openly welcomed the final release of the document from the Congregation of Catholic Education on the admittance of homosexuals into Catholic Seminaries.
“A timely” document said Bishop William Skylstad , President of the U.S Bishops Conference.
Bishop Skylstad said that, in the Instruction, “the Congregation for Catholic Education is exercising a Christian realism about what is expected in candidates for the priesthood. This realism understands the challenges of our time.”
Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput published a column on this new document, focusing on the discernment of the Church regarding candidates to the priesthood.
