This posed a problem, as the Catholic Church holds that same-sex attraction (SSA) is a grave disorder. According to a new study, however, America’s Catholic bishops may be taking over Bella Dodd’s old job, nearly a century after she abandoned communism and embraced the fullness of Truth in the Catholic Church. The report found that vocation directors (9 percent) were the least likely to approve men with DS-SSA for seminary and priesthood, while seminary spiritual directors and formators (12 percent), seminary rectors (16 percent), and seminary mental health professionals (17 percent) were also largely opposed to ordaining men with DS-SSA. Additionally, statistics have demonstrated over the past several decades that the vast majority of clerical sexual abuse has been homosexual in nature. A landmark clerical sex abuse report from France in 2021 similarly reported that 80 percent of clerical sex abuse victims for decades had been male, and 2023 reports from Spain and Portugal likewise found that a majority of clerical sex abuse victims were male.
