Archbishop: No Queer Priests
• Homophobia
Archbishop Edwin O'Brien mastermind of the Archdiocese for the Military Services in Washington D.C. told the National Catholic Register that he doesn't want any gay clergy.
"I think anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity, or has strong homosexual inclinations, would be best not to apply to a seminary and not to be accepted into a seminary," O'Brien told the independent newspaper. He said that even gays who have been celibate for a decade or more should not be admitted, the Register reported in its Sept. 4-10 edition.
