Pope Francis worries about the number of homobadual priests and religious, believing that the Catholic Church could be invaded by the "fashion" of homobaduality, according to a interview book published in Italy Saturday (1)
"Homobaduality is a very serious subject that must be discerned"
"In our societies, even, it seems that homobaduality be fashionable, "says the Argentine poet in the book titled" The Power of a Vocation ", which will be published in 10 languages. and this mentality, in a way, also affects the life of the Church, "he added." It's something that worries me. "
After his election in 2013, Pope Francis adopted a more welcoming tone to homobaduals by launching his now-famous phrase "Who should I judge?" and receiving same-bad couples.
An official document of 2005 bans access to the priesthood of any man with a homobadual tendency, although many bishops have chosen to close their eyes, particularly because of the sudden fall of vocations.
In the book of interviews, Francis asks the leaders of seminaries and novitiates of keep your eyes open and even detect the candidates who might later develop these "tendencies."
"In the consecrated life and in the priesthood, this type of affection has no place. The Church therefore recommends to people with this deeply rooted tendency to be excluded from ministry or religious life, "said the Argentine pontiff.] Homobaduals who are already priests or religious" should be encouraged to live fully their celibacy and, above all, to be totally responsible "
" It is better that they give up the priesthood or the consecrated life that they do not lead a double life ", he insisted
