Abstract
- The essay focuses on a Catholic Church ruling that bars gay priests. The Vatican documents in 1975 and 1986 did not support gay sexual intimacy, but recognized homosexuality as "innate" and not a sin. New rules from Pope Benedict XVI suggest gay sexual orientation threatens "priestly life" and so homosexuals, even if they are celibate, are barred from the priesthood. The Good Samaritan parable is mentioned.
