A Vatican office that evaluated U.S. Roman Catholic seminaries says the schools have made improvements in halting what they call “homosexual behavior” among students.The Vatican also says seminaries are doing well in teaching about celibacy and are generally effective in screening candidates for the priesthood.
The Vatican ordered the seminary review in response to the clergy sex abuse crisis to see whether the schools had contributed to the problem.
The Vatican also directed evaluators to look for “evidence of homosexuality” in the schools.
Some Catholics blame gay clergy for the abuse scandal. Experts on sex offenders say gays are no more likely than others to molest children.
