Homosexual clergy in the Catholic Church

Catholic canon law, specifically Canon 277 §1, requires that clerics "observe perfect and perpetual continence for the sake of the kingdom of heaven and therefore are bound to celibacy, which is a special gift of God by which sacred ministers can adhere more easily to Christ with an undivided heart and are able to dedicate themselves more freely to the service of God and humanity."; for this reason, priests in Catholic dioceses make vows of celibacy at their ordination, thereby agreeing to remain unmarried and abstinent throughout their lives. The 1961 document Careful Selection and Training of Candidates for the States of Perfection and Sacred Orders states that homosexual men should not be ordained at all.
