A look at how seminaries are screening who enters the priesthood

[FrankRC85]

As a human being it is possible to master your sexual desires, tons of priest and consacrated does it, and tons of catholics, as I do. By living a life with the sacraments, and growing in virtues, living chastity becomes just a normal thing. And it is good to live chastity because you are the master of your passion and not driven by them. It is the same in mariage, as in consacrated life, you master your sexual desire.You are not living like an animal, but like a human.

Celibacy is unnatural and a fertile soil for sexually frustrated sex abusers

@trassiepower

But things like rape, war, and genocide are perfectly natural, yet we do not find it acceptable to partake in these things constantly, do we? Wearing clothes is unnatural- you have fat and hair to give you warmth, but you still wear clothes.

[DonJohnofAustria]

anything done to prevent pedophiles and other scandalous actions from taking place within the priesthood nad the church is probably a good one

[flabbyhabbybabby1]

What sexuality is this virgin talking about? Celibacy is a testimony to the resurrection? This church will always be obsessed with sex and raping lil' kids with this kind of lunacy.

[capeman7500]

Human beings are always vulnerable...service to any part of society should be clearly evaluated and confirmed. Celibacy has nothing to do with mental and social illnesses. Screening is a subjective tool.

Americans should be proud because, The Pontifical North American College, is the best and perfect model for all seminaries in the world which are getting full to the rim in all continents, it all depends on the rector's and vocation director's prayerlife and faithfulness to the Church. There is no vocation crisis! Orthodoxy begets vocations, but dissent kills vocations. And nobody ever died because he/she hadn't/hasn't had sex. Pro Deo et Ecclesia!

It's really hard, You can test us only once but the devil tests us everyday in our lives. Didn't Jesus even said, whatever causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away, and so you can enter heaven ? If you carry such a big cross, you won't even care about sex any more cause sex requires strength, and energies.
