In theory one might proverb

 In theory, one might say judge each case on its individual merits, but some doubt whether it would be done in a proper way, ... There isn't going to be an easy solution. I think if you have a policy statement that homosexuals ought not to be studying for the priesthood at least it gives seminaries a way to act.

 I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priesthood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met.

 [Barring homosexuals from ordination] doesn't break any new ground or propose a new policy, ... That's the policy that's been in effect, in theory. It's just been ignored in many areas, particularly North America.

 Having worked with bishops and priests, diocesan and religious, all over the world, I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priesthood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met.

 I believe the Catholic Church teachings about homosexuality and the priesthood need to be made clear. I believe that after Vatican II homosexuals exploited loopholes (in church policy), and the fruits of that lax attitude are reflected in the abuses that have come to light.

 I think that each case has to be decided on its merits, and the merits of this application have to have been outstanding to weather all the storms that have been presented. It's been a long and expensive battle, and I doubt that anyone would be encouraged to want to take on such a battle unless they were confident that they too had as excellent a plan as this one.

 You'd have to take an individual search, an individual process, and there would have to be an individual case that would warrant that. An affirmative action policy would have to be involved (and disregarded by the school).

 And we may presume that God will continue to call both homosexuals and heterosexuals to the priesthood because the Church needs the gifts of both.

 It's a clear statement by the Vatican that gay men are not welcome in seminaries and religious orders,

 The role of a practicing attorney is to achieve a desirable result for the client in the particular case at hand. But a judge can't think that way. A judge can't have any agenda, a judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case and a judge certainly doesn't have a client.

 She alone has stood up for issues that are important to this country and important to the world. We're not here to judge the merits of the case; we're here to support our sister.

 The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory. A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive.

 The policy of the Boy Scouts of American with respect to homosexuals is contrary to the policy of the Board of Education,

 I'm offended that homosexuals will say that homosexuals deserve rights. Any man in America deserves rights, but homosexuals are trying to compare their plight with the plight of black men or black people. In the process of history, homosexuals have never been castrated, millions of them never died.

 The situation is not easy ... but I don't doubt that we will find a solution,
