Abstract
Candidates for ordination with homosexual tendencies The article presents the problem of canonical suitability for ordination of candidates with homosexual inclinations. Taking into account the state-ments of the Magisterium of the Church regarding the necessary qualifica-tions and moral virtues of future priests, the author asked a key question: Is it acceptable to admit a clergyman to the seminary and then to form persons showing certain disorders in the sphere of sexual orientation? Ac-cording to the author of the publication, due to the serious theological, psychological and juridical arguments, it should be assumed that their admission to the formation process in the seminary constitutes a serious risk which must not be ignored at all. And it is wicked to allow a candidate practicing homosexuality or showing deep-rooted homosexual tendencies or promoting the so-called „gay culture” to be ordained to the sacrament.
