Mark Shea gives about the best response to a homosexual who is bitter at the Church’s ban on gay men entering the seminary. Without rancor or ad hominem, Mark responds with charity, empathy, and orthodoxy. I disagree with a thing or two (I think the blanket prohibition is fine; he thinks a serious, celibate, orthodox man with same-sex attraction and good track record could be a good priest), but in general he hits all the right notes.
