Ex-Gay Group Rejoices that Vatican Says Former Homosexuals Can Become Priests

From LifeSiteNews"

WASHINGTON, December 1, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Vatican's recent document on homosexuality and the priesthood, is being lauded by ex-gay groups since it requires that seminarian candidates be free from homosexual tendencies for at least three years.

"The ex-gay community is grateful to the Holy Father for recognizing that men who have overcome same sex attractions are capable of serving as priests," said Regina Griggs, executive director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX). "All mainstream mental health organizations agree that individuals with unwanted same sex attractions have the right to seek therapy to explore developing heterosexual feelings as part of every client's right to self-determination. No one is born with same sex attractions."
