Men with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be admitted to the Catholic clergy, and it would be better for priests who are actively gay to leave rather than lead a double life, Pope Francis says in a new book.

The Catholic Church has been haunted for more than two decades by evidence of thousands of cases of sexual abuse of minors by clergy around the world, in countries ranging from the United States to Australia, Ireland, Belgium, Germany and Chile.

soooooooo, why not let priests marry and solve the problem???????? Every other religion allows their ministers to marry and also allows women to minister. It's about tiime the Catholic church comes to the modern age.
