Vatican to test if trainee priests are gay
There’s so much wrong with this, I hardly know where to start. But mainly I’m thinking – what exactly is the test? (via Metafilter)

Maybe they do that arousal test thing — they attach little sensors to the penis, then flash lots of various photos to detect which ones cause arousal.
Although, somehow, I think that the real arousal factor might be someone attaching little sensors to the penis and then watching…
The nature of the test was my first question as well.
Someone attaching sensors to my penis would definitely be more arousing than watching pornographic blipverts.
Actually, someone attaching sensors to my penis sounds a lot better than most of the kinky activities I’m aware of.
I’m thinking they’ll have to try to coordinate a three-piece ensemble, and the ones who do too well get kicked out.
People STILL can’t tell between homosexuals and pedophiles? It’s the 21st century, people!! Not the 12th!
From what I’ve read it’s a written test with questions like “Are you attracted to members of the same sex?” Gee, I wonder how people who really want to be priests will answer that?
They are really screwing up here. Not only is there the obvious gay != pedophile issue, but it’s estimated that over half of the priests serving are gay. The catholic church already faces a shortage of new priests. This seems like a quick way to make it worse without getting any benefit.
OH yes, the whole Pedophile= Gay issue is blindingly stupid. I suppose all the straight priests are guaranteed celibates. Or is that eunuchs they are looking for? Perhaps they should require orchidectomies, just to be sure.
I think in the future all priests will be andriods. And not the fully functional kind like Lt. Data.
I mean, when I said, “Fuck kids!” I meant I don’t like kids. Sheesh. Overreacting Catholics.
