Anyone got any information on the Dominicans' reported 1995 change of policy on gay seminarians at their General Chapter at Caleruega?
The policy which the Dominicans allegedly adopted in 1995 looked practically identical to the new policy which the Italian bishops had been reported as adopting in 2025 - ie candidates can be gay or straight, but must be celibate. But the Italian bishops have now denied making any such proposal.
Though I have not got a clue what the article really says about the real current Italian policy: "putting the person at the center beyond immediate categorisation in order to be able to accompany him in making truth about one's sexual orientation". Was this written by a human?
Seeing that the Italians' practical policy (see Fr Inzoli, etc), as per many other Bishops' Conferences, seems to be All Are Welcome.......our only sensible policy is to keep all young people far away from the clergy.
