Is This News?

Vatican Rejects Actively Gay Priests:

"VATICAN CITY - Reiterating its stand against sexually active gays in the priesthood, the Vatican also says in a new document that men with 'transitory' homosexuality must have overcome their sexual tendencies for at least three years before entering the clergy."


What exactly is news about this position? Wouldn't it be odd for them to embrace actively homosexual men but not actively heterosexual men? Doesn't that kind of come with the whole celibacy thing?
